SPIRITS
G I N - A BRIEF HISTORY GIN
English troops fighting in the Low Countries were perhaps the first importers of gin to British shores. In 1585 the Earl of Leicester’s troops took some Dutch Courage (a tot of gin) prior to battle as they allied themselves to The Netherlands in their conflict with Philip II of Spain.
The English were in need of this courage
The middle of the 18th century saw

some gin. In the 1660’s the famous diarist Samuel Pepys wrote of “strong water made with juniper” used as a treatment for colic; although whether this was for his own ailment or for infants remains unclear. William of Orange ascended the British throne in 1689, immediately banned French imports, and passed laws encouraging all his new subjects to distil... an edict that was wholeheartedly endorsed! It is hard to over-estimate the effect this had on the country. In London by 1720 a quarter of all houses were actively distilling lethal concoction masquerading as gin. It would appear

continuous still in the 19th century moved the quality of gin into a new league and Prior to this gin bore no resemblance to the gins of today; it was a thick, sweet, full, rich drink with heavy juniper notes. With the advent of the continuous still the improvement in both the understanding of distillation and the quality of the distillate there was no longer a need for sugar and glycerine to mask the rank spirit. Gradually, gin became drier, with delicate, complex flavours courtesy of a wide range of exotic botanicals; more like the drink we know today. It became known as London Dry Gin simply because most distillers were based in the capital city. In fact, there has never been a requirement to be geographically connected to London; the term then referred to a style and now to a defined production method.

evil consumption of gin in 1751
each producer’s recipe is a closely guarded secret. Distillation in pot or short column stills is the best method of extracting the essential oils from most botanicals and efficiently combines their flavours with the spirit. The flavour can also be simply added and sometimes both these methods are combined to add flavours not suited to distillation. Up to a point, it is fair to say that a gin will be more complex if a greater number of botanicals are used. However, any gin should be judged on its balance and length of finish rather than subject to mere arithmetical analysis. When distilling a mash or wash all the congeners (the elements in alcohol that give a spirit its aromas and flavours) have different boiling points, botanicals are no exception, their congeners vaporise

at different times, creating a haze of congeners for the distiller. Distilling gin is an art, what to capture and what to discard differentiates the various gins. It is not just the botanicals chosen but also how they react to one another when combined that affects the end result. Roots, for example, are often used not just for their own intrinsic qualities but because they highlight those of a citric nature as well.

GIN DEFINITIONS GIN All gins are made with ethyl alcohol, flavoured with juniper berries and other optional flavourings. in all types of gin, the predominant flavour must be or have been juniper. in the EU gin must have a minimum retail strength of 37.5% ABV. produced outside of the EU, many countries have a different alcohol threshold and there are some geographical and cultural derogations which give common descriptors to other styles. there are three main definitions of gin by production:

DISTILLED GIN

Distilled gin is made in a traditional still by:

• Re-distilling neutral alcohol in the presence of natural flavourings.
• The ethyl alcohol does not have to be re-distilled.
• There is no minimum strength laid down for the resultant distillate.
alcohol
• The flavouring can be either approved natural or artificial flavourings. • The flavourings can be simply mixed together with the ethyl alcohol to form the gin (compounded). • There is no restriction on the addition of other approved additives such as sweetening. • Water is added to reduce the gin’s strength to the desired retail level. • There is no restriction on the colouring of gin with an approved colouring. 6

• After distillation, further ethyl alcohol of the same composition may be added. • Additional flavourings may be added after distillation and these can be either natural or artificial flavourings. • The distillate can be further changed by the addition of other approved additives since there is no prohibition on their use in the definition. • Water may be added to reduce the strength to the desired retail level. • There is no restriction on the colouring of distilled gin with approved colourings.
LONDON GIN London Gin is made in a traditional still by re-distilling ethyl alcohol in the presence of all natural flavourings used.
• The grain ethyl alcohol used to distil London Gin must be of a higher quality than the standard laid down for ethyl alcohol. The methanol level

LABEL
• in the ethyl alcohol must not exceed a maximum of 5 grams per hectolitre of 100% vol. alcohol. • The flavourings used must all be approved natural flavourings and they must impart the flavour during the distillation process. • The use of artificial flavourings is not permitted. • The resultant distillate must have a minimum strength of 70% abv. • No flavourings can be added after distillation. • Further ethyl alcohol may be added after distillation provided it is of the same standard. • A small amount of sweetening may be added after distillation provided the sugars do not exceed 0.1 grams/litre of finished product (the sugar is not discernible and is added to some products purely for brand protection purposes). • The only other substance that may be added is water. • London Gin cannot be coloured.
Unlike other famous spirits where quality is indicated by industry standard terms such as VSOP, branded quality names such as Paradis or simple age statements, the gin drinker must be on the look out for different quality indicators. The most meaningful are: A BRAND NAME The development of branded gin was due to several famous distilling families, all of whom were based in London. Their secret recipes for the botanicals remain the foremost indicator of style and flavour. No two famous brands taste alike, with each preferring a different influence from the next. THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN/DISTILLATION The country of origin will also influence the flavour, with some countries preferring heavier juniper or citrus elements. THE STYLE OF GIN The ubiquitous London Dry Gin, Plymouth, Old Tom and the various types of Dutch Genever will each indicate to the drinker the style of gin one should expect. THE STRENGTH OF ALCOHOL More so than in some other spirits, the strength of gin will also indicate how prominently the botanicals will feature. This is a direct function of the amount of water added during the reduction process. Some would argue that the ideal is between 40–55 % abv. Below this range a gin is less able to hold its flavours and the complexity and balance are thus adversely affected. 7
Gin botanicals SPIRITS GIN
Popular botanicals and flavouring agents for gin often include citrus elements, such as lemon and bitter orange peel, as well as a combination of other spice, the more popular of which include anise, angelica root and seed, orris root, liquorice root, cinnamon, almond, cubeb, savory, lime peel, grapefruit peel, saffron, frankincense, coriander, grains of paradise, nutmeg, cardamom, cassia bark, ginger, and others.

low spreading shrubs to trees exceeding 10 meters in height. The female berry or seed cone is what we need for gin and these, depending on the climate where the Juniper grows, take up to 18 months to ripen and have a range of flavours. Such a vital ingredient in gin that it is literally criminal to leave it out. By law, Juniper has to be the dominant flavour of any alcoholic beverage which is seeking to be classified as gin. Gin is so tied with this particular berry that the name itself derives from the Dutch word jenever, which literally translates to ‘juniper’. In short; gin cannot exist in the absence of Juniper.

Garnish [gahr-nish] Verb
Decorate or embellish (something, especially food) Noun A small amount of food used to decorate other food. Origin Middle English (in the sense ‘equip, arm’): from Old French garnir, probably of Germanic origin and related to warn. Garnish (Sense 1 of the verb) dates from the late 17th century
As the gin boom continues to surge in popularity, we’ve seen the use of garnishes has changed hugely in recent years.

• Citrus twist • Fresh Mint • Juniper berries
Whatever garnish chosen is ultimately down to personal choice but garnishes can totally transform the humble Gin & Tonic to a beautiful looking drink and enhance the aroma and flavour of the gin.
CITRUS
Garnishes can use an existing botanical to enhance the flavour: use a lemon twist for citrus-led gins or a slice of pink grapefruit in your Cotswold Dry. Alternatively, it can complement the flavour of the botanicals, garnishing a floral gin like Jinzu with a slice of green apple

From Hive to Jar WHY HONEY? THE HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS, NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO SUGAR. Pure honey is naturally sweet and has become a healthier and tastier option over processed sugars and sweeteners. Honey contains many vitamins, minerals and natural antioxidants which help maintain good health and build immunity against sickness. The British Honey Company provide pure 100% British honey straight from the hive, retaining all it’s natural goodness. They believe every jar of honey should be as fresh tasting as possible, which is why they let their bees do the work by themselves.
“We take the provenence and traceability of our honey very seriously, we use the lastest techniques and testing procedures to monitor and assure the ingredients used in our products are of the highest quality. We also participate in the application of SALSA food standards, and are committed to making all our food and drinks safe and legal”. MAKING THE BRITISH SPIRIT With a love for Gin and Honey, The British Honey Company produced the delicious Keepr’s Dry London Gin infused with Cotswold Honey in small batches from 300-500 bottles. Each batch traceable back to the hive the honey came from. Expanding their product range with a delicious selection of spirits inspired by the British countryside using locally sourced fruit. The range includes British Raspberry & Honey Gin, English Strawberry and Lavender Gin, and many more. International award-winning Master Distiller Jamie Baggott joined the team in September 2018 and with his knowledge and genius is building the range with the introduction of several new gins, rums, vodkas and an award winning Single Malt New Make Spirit for the production of their own Whisky.
TESTED & TRUE Honey is the third-most adulterated product in the world. The British Honey Company are leading the way of scientific research into the provenance and traceability in Honey. Working with Oxford and Reading Universities they have initiated a programme looking at the DNA makeup and the Isotope readings of various honeys. The software programme they use has been written by Michael Williams, founder of The British Honey Company and Alex Maurice, Director of IT & Tracebility to track the provenance of honey from ‘hive to table’. All their honey is tested for fake & foreign honeys, as well as colourings, flavourings and other nasties to guarantee the safety of their honey in the food and drinks chain. Alice Meng, BioChemist at The British Honey Company 18
Where possible The British Honey Company aim to reduce their carbon foot print and recently opted to install an electric still at their distillery near Oxford. This still is cleaner and reduces omissions to the environment. The majority of stills are currently using oil and gas which is not good for our environment.

Finns often have their best ideas in a sauna. That’s where the story of this all-rye distillery also began in 2012, spurred on by a bit of rye whisky. Rye is the most Finnish of grains and as soon as the idea of founding a distillery started to take shape, it was clear to everyone that we would only use rye. One of the fellows from that fateful sauna session had an idea where to build the distillery: the most famous cheese factory in Finland. It had been closed for five years and was ready for a gentle makeover. After slogging through two years of building works and bureaucracy, the fearless Kyrö distillers finally fired up the stills in 2014. The rest as they say, is history!
34
IN RYE WE TRUST NAPUE
RYE GIN
The gin’s key components are deeply rooted in the very heart of Finnish nature. Cranberries, sea buckthorn, birch leaves and wild, floral herbs give the scents and flavours of an early morning, misty Finnish meadow. Enjoy your Napue & Tonic with plenty of ice, a few cranberries, a twig of rosemary, and Fever Tree Indian Tonic.
WE MAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF RYE. Finnish summers may be short, but the near 24-hour sunlight packs our r ye full of spicy, full-bodied flavour. The r ye grain is smaller but more flavourful, making sure our wholegrain distillation brings out the best that Finnish r ye has to offer. In addition to the intense flavour of Finnish r ye , the local wild botanicals including wild flowers, sea buckthorn, cranberries and birch leaves, all contribute to the fresh flavour of our gins. Napue was voted as “The Worlds’ Best Gin for Gin & Tonic” by the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) in 2015. W E M A K E W H I S K E Y TO O Our wholegrain r ye whiskies are made from either 100% malted r ye or r ye grain dried using local traditional methods. The r ye new make is double distilled and aged in American white oak casks. Our first small batches were released in 2017
Koskue is the perfect union of rye, locally sourced botanicals and American white oak cask maturation.This unusual gin naturally has a lot of whisky drinking fans. Aged in small American oak barrels for 3 months on average and fine-tuned with freshly distilled orange peel and black pepper that compliment the vanilla from the barrel and the heat from the rye.
KOSKUE BARREL AGED RYE GIN
For the perfect serve, enjoy Koskue with plenty of ice and cloudy apple juice, garnished with a slice of apple and fresh vanilla.

Portobello Road Gin eschews the trend for obscure and unusual ingredients and instead is an honest blend of just nine botanicals. On the palate Portobello Road Gin has a generous slug of juniper and a sustained, fresh citrus character, developing with the use of nutmeg into a warm peppery finish.
Best served simply with tonic and a grapefruit twist.

Gin with a Twist of History Shakespeare Distillery was founded, in 2015, by Simon Picken and Peter Monks. Located in Stratford-Upon-Avon, their mission is to craft truly delicious spirits, with a twist of history. Taking inspiration from the Tudor herb garden, they fuse together complex, and often forgotten, botanicals with modern distilling equipment to produce exceptionally smooth real craft gins. There has been an explosion in the UK craft gin market, with a large diversity in flavours and styles emerging, often with a high sugar content masking the true flavour of the spirit. Yet, they believe there is still a strong affection and appreciation for true gin. Hence, they ensure all their products are beautifully crafted by hand in small batches with the finest ingredients ensuring the true flavours of gin are present in all their spirits.

Shakespeare Distillery hold environmental consciousness as a core value of their business. Distillation is traditionally a very energy and water intensive process, however Shakespeare Distillery’s stills ‘Portia’ and ‘Ophelia’ are state-of-the-art and are designed to minimise energy and water usage. They also reuse and repurpose materials wherever they can, from boxes, to bottles, to botanicals. At their distillery site, situated on Drayton Manor Drive just off the Alcester Road, they have created a wonderful visitor experience. The distillery is open to the public for tours, as well as a weekly ‘Gin School’ where visitors can distil their own unique gin! Furthermore, their distillery shop contains limited editions of special spirits which you can try nowhere else. Warwickshire is the home of British gin: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and resident of Kenilworth Castle, was the first to bring juniper-based spirits to these Isles. So, why not come visit them for yourselves, and try real craft gin, with a twist of history.
STRATFORD GIN 45% ABV Signature award-winning gin (IWSC Silver Outstanding) fusing botanicals such as Lovage, Rosemary, Sage, Lemon Balm and a small amount of Rose to bring the Tudor Herb garden to life in the flavour profile of this wonderfully smooth and distinctively rich Juniper-led London Dry gin. Recommended as a classic G&T with Indian tonic.
RHUBARB GIN 40% ABV Stratford Gin direct from the still is blended down with freshly-pressed Rhubarb juice to produce a full-strength fruit gin, that does not rely on artificial colours or sweeteners. Beautifully pink in colour with a full flavour and tang of rhubarb; this gin can stand up to any mixer and is delicious with Ginger Ale and a twist of orange.
MULBERRRY GIN LIQUEUR 30% ABV Black mulberries are steeped in Stratford Gin for three months to produce a deep fruity liqueur-style gin. The higher ABV ensures the gin is still present, whilst the natural sweetness of the Mulberries remove the need for additional sugar. This versatile gin can be sipped neat, and is perfect as a gin fizz or for use in cocktails. 41

“6th Generation Farmers,
1st Generation Distillers” THE DISTILLERY The ambition of farm diversification was behind the entrepreneurial decision for brothers, Ed and Charlie, to set up The Wood Brothers Distillery in the 200-year-old stone granary barn on their farm near Bampton on the edge of the Cotswolds. Historically the farm has produced mushrooms, farmed livestock, and grown arable crops, and as a familyrun farm, the brothers have been actively involved from a young age. However, after working in the distillery business for several years, with unprecedented knowledge of the systems and set up involved, Ed set his eyes on the old barn for their new distilling venture. Together with his brother, Charlie, they started the task of converting the old barn. Equipment was ordered, but for the most part, the conversion, the design, and finally the installation, was a project created and completed by them alone. The first spirit was run off the still early in 2018. The arable land
44
on the farm produces grains, the use of these allows the distillery to claim its status as Single Estate, something rarely found in distilleries in the UK. By creating the base spirit the brothers can hold complete control of the products from seed to glass. The extensive history of the family farm is evident in the branding and design of the bottles. The complex weaving of copper piping takes you on a journey and gives insight into every part of this history. With the brothers’ ethos of keeping the product local and drawing on the farms past, the spirits produced are uniquely personal.
THE SPIRITS The soft English winter wheat that is grown on the farm, when milled, mashed and fermented creates a pure, well-rounded base spirit. This can retain its subtle notes of the grain when distilled to create Single Estate Wood Bros Vodka and Gin. As the distillery grows, further products will also be developed, producing a full range of British, Single Estate spirits.
THE ARABLE LAND ON THE FARM PRODUCES GRAINS, THE USE OF THESE ALLOWS THE DISTILLERY TO CLAIM ITS STATUS AS SINGLE ESTATE

RUM
any years ago, when British sailors in the Caribbean first encountered Kill-Devil (the extremely rough local spirit from sugar cane) they drank copious quantities, resulting in behaviour described at the time, as rumbullion.
W
The popularity of rum spread from the Caribbean, first to North America (where there are records of distilleries from the 1660’s in Massachusetts, and it was said New England’s biggest industry was the manufacture of molasses liquor), and then through England, Spain and their colonies. To this day, the Caribbean countries still remain the most important producers of rum for international consumption, although no longer the largest source of molasses. Rum, rhum or ron is the product obtained by distilling the ferment of either sugar cane juice or molasses. Sugar cane is a perennial grass grown mostly in the tropics where it thrives particularly in volcanic soils and the variety of cane planted will dictate the volume of sucrose that it will yield. It can be distilled either in a continuous still or a pot still and has no requirement to be aged in barrel. It can be any strength above 37.5 % abv with some as high as 80 % abv and can be white, light and elegant, dark, rich and pungent, or indeed any possible combination thereof. Most Caribbean islands harvest cane from February through June, but regions of South America 58

e would like to think that this so-called rumbustious-ness may have led to the name rum. It is believed that the first distilling of sugar cane juice or molasses to make rum took place on the plantations in the Caribbean early in the 17th century and legend has it that it first originated on the island of Barbados. However, we know that South American countries such as Brazil have written evidence of distillation taking place as early as the first decade of the 1600’s following the planting of sugarcane brought across by Spanish explorers.

RL Seale is one of Barbados’ oldest trading houses, a family-owned business whose involvement in rum-making extends from father-to-son since 1820. Current head distiller, Richard Seale, is one of the region’s most innovative distillers and blenders and has a passion for producing perfect rum with great flavour.
will aim for two crops each year. The sugar cane is cut by hand or mechanically and taken immediately to the mill where it is chopped and crushed to release the juice. If the juice is to be used for the production of rum it is immediately fermented and then distilled. If it is to be used for the production of sugar, then the juice is heated creating crystals and subsequently centrifuged in order to separate those crystals from the molasses. Also known as treacle, molasses is, therefore, essentially all that remains after the sugar has been crystallised out of the juice. The centrifuging process is repeated many times resulting in many different grades of molasses all of which are so thick that they need to be diluted with water prior to fermentation. Fermentation is a very important stage as all the character of the end product is created at this point. It is affected by three main factors TEMPERATURE The temperature of the ferment - RUM
YEAST The type of yeast used. Cultured yeasts are grown specifically for a particular length of ferment, weight of flavour and alcohol strength. Wild yeasts can increase the weight of flavour and produce a longer ferment. The distillery will choose according to their house production styles. DURATION The duration of the fermentation. This can vary from 48 hours for a typical Eastern Caribbean/ Australian/Indian rum to two weeks for a Jamaican-style rum; and is influenced by the first two factors. In Jamaica there is an interesting little addition to proceedings, which is called dunder. Dunder is the equivalent of sour mash in American whiskey-production. The distiller takes the residue from previous fermentation and stores it in a pit or tank in the heat of the Caribbean sun; this concentrates the acids, reducing the pH, considerably slowing the rate of fermentation and at the same time imparting a dramatic pungency to the resultant rum.
SPIRITS
Whilst some of the stills are quite creative, one generally finds that the distillation process is selective. The art of distillation is very much in evidence in the rum world with numerous possibilities from the same distillation.
A retort is a chamber attached to the pot before the condenser, which is usually filled with the first distillate. The vapour passes through this chamber, the heat strips off and incorporates some of the alcohol before passing into the neck where it is condensed and collected. This method will always produce rums of great distinction and character, if not something of an acquired taste.
RUM
What to capture and what to discard is critical to the style of the end product. Commence collection early and finish early and the result will be a light, delicate, elegant spirit, occasionally showing hints of creamy toffee. Start later and finish later and the result will be a richer, fuller style with hints of burnt rubber and a certain oily character. The stills used may vary considerably. Column stills can be as high as a four-storey building with one rectifying column or more columns all linked together; or in the case of Martinique’s Rhum Agricole, can be very small, fitting quite easily into an average room. The taller ones are very versatile as the collection shelves can be set anywhere to make anything from a heavy to light distillate. The pot stills can be big or small with long necks—giving more delicate rums— or short necks—resulting in richer, heavier rums—and some may even be modified to incorporate single or double retort.
White rums are often aged in stainless steel for up to six months; however, occasionally they will be oak aged for an extended period and then filtered through activated carbon to remove the colour. The vast majority of amber rums will have been aged in old bourbon barrels and many will pick up the vanilla and sweet spice notes found in bourbon. Ageing in this part of the world is a quick business! In the tropics spirits evaporate through the pores in the wood at great speed during maturation. The Caribbean, for example, has evaporation rates of approximately 8% a year whilst, by contrast, 2% annually is the norm for whisky in Scotland; this doesn’t herald the same flavour development that only time would allow but does hasten the ageing.
Rums of the world
Rums From The English Speaking Caribbean
Antigua, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent, Trinidad & Tobago and the Virgin Islands, all produce predominantly light and golden rums, some with great style and finesse. Labels often use proprietary terms for differing qualities and many use age statements, from three year old up through five, seven etc. In some instances terms such as XO are borrowed from the brandy world. Jamaica produces pungent light and heavier high-ester rums, valuable for blending as well as for their own style and forthright flavours. Labels tend to indicate simply white and for the aged, special (gold), often a proprietary brand names and some age statements do actually refer to the minimum age of the blend. Guyana is a powerhouse of molasses production and produces a softer style of medium and heavily-bodied rums. The whites tend to be labelled very simply whilst the golden and dark rums generally utilise age statements which refer to the youngest parts of the blends. Both Jamaica and Guyana use pot and column stills to great effect. Many blended white and dark rums are sourced from theses countries for bottling in the Caribbean or in Europe, and they tend to be labelled with brand names and often carry no age statements or qualitative marks at all.
Rums From French Islands Guadeloupe, Marie Galante and Martinique produce both agricole and molasses based rums. The agricole have strict rules and follow a defined quality ladder: Blanc and Ambré followed by Vieux (minimum of three years), Hors d’Âge and age statements or vintages. The molasses-based rums are labelled with brand names and rarely carry any other quality statements, many of which are bottled in France. Haiti has only one major producer; the rums are produced and aged in a similar way to cognac and carry age statements which refer to the minimum age of the blend.
Hispanic Caribbean, Central & South American Rums Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Venezuela produce a huge variety of heavy and light rums, predominantly white and gold and labelled with terms such as silver and blanca for the whites, and añejo, reserva, gran reserva and numerous age statements for the golden. Some are aged in solera systems and the stated age or number on the label can be a reference to the average age of the blend, or the youngest or oldest part of the blend or simply a special number that has been applied to a particular blend. Brazil deserves a mention on its own. It produces a great deal of the world’s molasses and some traditional rums but cachaça is its main spirit. Some of these do not qualify as true rums as grain and sugar syrup are also used alongside the molasses.
Hispanic Caribbean, Central & South American Rums From Australia through the Philippines, India, South Africa and the French-speaking islands in the Indian Ocean, many types of rum are produced with brand names providing the best indication of quality. The French tend to be the greatest respecters of the age statement; the Indian rums tend to have colonial-sounding brands; the Australians may differ mostly on alcoholic strength, whilst the Spanish-speaking producers will tend towards the reserva and añejo systems.

NOSE:
The ever-satisfying combination of sweetness and spice are the stars of the show….. or sea. Intense aromas of fruitcake, cinnamon and liquorice match up to the impressive red colour to deliver an enjoyable experience from the start.
PA L AT E :
Straightforward in taste but not without attitude, it’s a familiar treacly sweetness that packs the punch. A mixing drink, growing in complexity to release an added fruitiness when paired with cola and ginger beer.
F IN I S H:
A crisp and fulfilling end of soft spice and subtle yet stimulating liquorice.

“Our Smoked Rum is smoked with apple wood from our own apple trees” 72
We met Katherine Jenner, Co-founder & MD of Solihull based Burning Barn Rum. We chatted (& tasted) all things rum & found out how, from a distaster a great brand was born!
F ORGE D
fromT H E F I R E W
hen we set up Burning Barn Rum almost 2 years ago, it was based on research and trends demonstrated in other parts of the drinks market and a passion for a spirit that had so much unrealised potential. After our eponymous Barn burnt down and we decided we wanted to make spirits, the damascene moment was the realisation that rum had a very similar market share to gin but was offering none of the innovation, authentic flavours or compelling origin stories that were fuelling the “ginnaissance”. There was clearly a demand for rum and we could see the demand for authenticity, innovation and provenance writ large in the stories of craft gin and beer.
and Americans drink Bourbon. The dark spirits that have been popular in the US craft distilling revolution have been those that have had a history of being produced in that area before prohibition decimated the American artisanal distiller. The great thing for Burning Barn is that Rum is England’s version of craft Bourbon or Rye Whisky. Whiskey in England doesn’t have the required historical and cultural resonance because it is a fundamentally Scottish product. Rum, on the other hand, has been an integral part of the English spirits canon since the 17th century. It has been stored and blended in the warehouses of Liverpool and Bristol since that time and it has fuelled some of the great institutions of our country. It is a spirit that has been a part of the proudest moments in English history and some of the darkest and most shameful. It is not dissimilar to gin in this regard with its previous incarnation as a mother’s ruin depicted by Hogarth. The stars have aligned: demand for the category is there (Rum sales in the UK hit £1billion in 2017, up from £960m in 2016, according to the Wine and Spirits Trade Association), demand for authenticity, innovation and provenance is evidenced in other categories and rum is the only dark spirit with a compelling cultural and historical precedence in England.
The Actual Burning Barn
Our challenge was to capitalise on the explosion in craft/ artisan alcoholic beverages. The aim was to pre-empt dark spirits following gin into the craft sector, and the UK following the US trend in spirits as it did with craft beer. The US craft spirits revolution saw a 1200% increase in producers of craft spirits between 2003 and 2016 – almost all of this growth was in dark spirits with a historical, cultural and geographical precedent. This historical, cultural and geographical aspect cannot be underestimated as it is these factors that shape consumer habits and preconceptions. It is why Russian’s drink Vodka
Burning Barn is perfectly positioned to react to these demands with our innovative locally sourced flavours. Our Smoked Rum is smoked with applewood from our very own apple trees, our Spiced Rum uses whole spices that we hand roast on site and our Honey Rum uses English Honey some of which again comes from our very own hives. In the highest tradition of English rum-making, we blend these flavours with rigorously sourced rums from the Caribbean. As consumer tastes mature they will demand more complexity and authenticity from their rums. Burning Barn aims to be the flavoured Rum of choice for those who love the category but want to move on from the mass-produced, synthetically flavoured offerings of the big names.

STIGGINS‘ FANCY PINEAPPLE A tribute to the character created by Charles Dickens in the Pickwick Papers, Reverend Stiggins, whose favorite drink was “pineapple rum.” The barks of Victoria pineapples are infused in Plantation 3 Stars rum, which is then further distilled. Separately, the pineapple fruit is infused in Plantation Original Dark rum. Both distillate and fruit infusion are finally blended together, creating a rich and delicious pineapple bouquet, accented by smoky and clove notes

TURIN - WHERE IT ALL BEGAN Like many alcoholic drinks, being vermouth’s exact originator is a much-battled title. However one this is clear. Vermouth, such as Dutch Genever, for example, was originally drunk for its medicinal properties and rose to popularity in the 19th century. The cities of Chambéry and Turin have been jostling for the title of the birthplace of vermouth for a long time now, following the division of the Duchy of Savoy between France and Italy in the 19th century. THE MOVE INTO FRANCE Several well established and reputable Italian families began to distribute their vermouth, including the Cinzano family. Once the family had established their company in Turin, they quickly developed a network of salesmen to expand their vermouth sales to France, where the aperitif was widely emulated. In 1813 for example, 78 78

French liqueur and absinthe manufacturer Joseph Noilly introduced his recipe for dry vermouth, made from the white wines of Languedoc. His son Louis took over the company in 1829 and began exporting his absinthe, liqueurs, and vermouth beyond France’s borders. In 1843, his brother-in-law became his partner and the company was renamed Noilly-Prat. In 1844, the first order was shipped to the United States. Simultaneously, in 1821 Joseph Chavasse developed his vermouth in Chambéry. Made from local herbs, this vermouth was named Dolin and was the first to be awarded the AOC label a century later (1932). The Dolin brand was also responsible for selling and marketing the first white vermouth. INVADING THE U.S. Carlo Alberto was displeased by the market share taken by French vermouth manufacturers, particularly in the United States. He quickly recognised the dangers of having restricted - VERMOUTH & APÉRITIFS

sales of Turin vermouth to the local market. He decided to join forces with the Italian Cora brothers, who had founded a company in 1835 and were exporting massive quantities of vermouth to the United States to be sold on to Italian expat clients. To protect Turin’s vermouth from potential copycats, Carlo Alberto granted them the first licenses in 1840. In this spirit of international expansion, the Distilleria Nazionale de Spirito de Vino was founded in 1849. In 1860, driven forward by new CEO Alessandro Martini, the distillery became a key player on the global vermouth market. In 1865 (in Dublin) and 1867 (in Paris), his vermouth won many awards, and in 1868 the company exported its first bottles to the United States. In 1879, the Martini company became Martini & Rossi, following the departure of one of its shareholders. It was ultimately due to Martini & Rossi, and Cora, that vermouth enjoyed incredible expansion in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. CLOSER TO HOME Now that vermouth is experiencing it’s richest period since it’s inception, our particular favourite happens to be UK based Sacred Spirits. Sacred Vermouths were the first to be produced in the UK, using only English wine from Three Choirs Vineyard. Although wormwood is no longer considered a requirement, Sacred Vermouths are made using organic wormwood which is especially grown for them in Somerset. It is harvested when in full bloom, as this is when the bitter agent absinthin is at its highest. Sacred Vermouth is fortified by adding its uniquely vacuum-distilled botanicals to the wine.

THE MAIN CATEGORIES OF VERMOUTH Some European vermouths have been awarded POD (protected designation of origin) status. This means that vermouth from Chambéry can only be made in Savoie, just as vermouth from Turin can only be made in Piedmont. The two main categories of vermouth emerged from a stringent classification process: Dry Vermouth Dry vermouth is also known as white vermouth or French vermouth. It is almost exclusively white in color (though it can have a yellow tint) and, as noted, originated in France. - VERMOUTH & APÉRITIFS
Dry vermouth is an obvious name that signifies this fortified wine’s flavor profile. It is a dry version of vermouth that often contains just 5 percent sugar. This style is more notable for its blend of botanicals that pair so well with gin in the martinis that require it. As with all vermouth, dry vermouth can vary greatly in its taste. A good case in point is the famous brand, Noilly Prat, which is considered one of the best. For several years, the Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth sold in the USA was not as robust as that sold in everywhere else. Americans just didn’t have the desire for such a profile (Gin martinis were poured with virtually no vermouth).
Sweet Vermouth
Flavoured Vermouths
Sweet vermouth is also known as red vermouth or Italian vermouth because it is red in color and originated in Italy.
Very early on, vermouths served as a base that allowed manufacturers to expand their aromatic palettes. Dolin was the first vermouth brand to sell strawberry-flavored vermouth called Chamberyzette. Since then, other manufacturers have followed its example, such as the vanilla-flavored Carpano Antica Formula.
Sweet vermouth is sweet, but not sweet as in syrupy or sweet liqueurs like amaretto. It has a significantly sweeter profile than other vermouth and can include up to 15 percent sugar. Sweet vermouth can also have a notable vanilla aroma mixed with bright floral notes. Although it is most common to see red-colored sweet vermouth, a white (or clear) sweet vermouth is also produced and can be labeled as Bianco or blanc. But there is another....
STORING VERMOUTH Closed bottles of vermouth should be stored like spirits in an upright position. Once opened, the bottles must be kept completely immobile and in a cool place. As with all fortified wines, vermouth will deteriorate on exposure to oxygen, which alters its aroma and taste. Cool temperatures delay the effects INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
of oxidation on the vermouth’s flavour. Once opened, bottles of vermouth should be finished within a few weeks. BEYOND VERMOUTH! Where vermouth consists primarily of aromatized fermented wine there is another style called “winebased aperitifs” which use a mistelle as the base ingredient (mistelle is a fresh grape juice that is fortified by adding alcohol). These mistelle-based aperitifs include Dubbonet, Byrrh, Pineau de Charentes and Floc de Gascogne. The former two (Dubbonet and Byrrh) use bitter quinine as a core ingredient and the latter two are known for using Cognac and Armagnac (Pineau de Charentes and Floc de Gascogne respectively) as the alcohol addition.

I
t goes without saying that brandy traces its routes to the Dutch word brandewijn meaning “burnt wine”. Back in the 12th century, the Dutch utilizing a newly indoctrinated form of distillation would distill wine in the hopes of preserving it for the long journey it took in the company of the merchants responsible for its transportation abroad. But do you think that all brandy is Cognac? Or that all brandy is French, made from grapes and sipped from snifters? Far from it. Brandy, for too many people, has a reputation as a spirit enjoyed by a more mature crowd. Picture an older man in a plush wingback leather armchair, next to a roaring fire with a cigar between his lips – he has a glass of brandy in his hand, right? That’s a very outdated stereotype, though. These days, brandy is enjoyed across the board as well as, of course, distinguished silver-haired gents with suits and cigars.
SO WHAT IS BRANDY? Technically, brandy is any spirit distilled from fruit juice that has been fermented to form alcohol – but most of the commercial brandies we drink start life as grapes. The fruit is crushed, and its juice fermented to make wine. Following this, the wine is distilled – a process of boiling the wine and then condensing its alcohol-rich vapours to enhance aromas and flavour – to create brandy. The raw spirit is clear, and in many “witblits” varieties, like peach brandy, it is left that way. However, maturation in toasted oak barrels gives traditional grape brandy its colour and adds to its flavour. The distillation process raises the alcohol content while enriching the flavour, giving brandies a strong, rich, even fiery character. Most commercial grape brandies spend at least two years in the barrel to mellow them, but further ageing is optional.

WELL, WHAT IS COGNAC?
SPIRITS
COGNAC, BRANDY & ARMAGNAC
“Cognac is to brandy what Champagne is to sparkling wine,” explains Paul Wilkins, Inn Express’ Purchasing Director. It simply means that the particular brandy known as Cognac is, “made in a specific region of France following specific rules to guarantee its quality.” The Cognac region is in western France, north of Bordeaux, with one border on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Beyond Champagne to sparkling wine, there’s another easy comparison as well. “I frequently explain to people the difference between bourbon and whiskey, namely that bourbon is a type of whiskey,” says Wilkins. “I similarly try to explain to people that Cognac is a type of brandy.” Despite its’s heritage Cognac does not need to be sipped neat. Of course, traditional libations such as the Sidecar and Vieux Carré are made with Cognac, so the spirit’s cocktail heritage is strong. Within Cognac, there’s a broad range of styles, as there is within any other category of spirit, such as bourbon. For instance, half a dozen different sub-regions exist within Cognac, noted as offering different taste characteristics and overall quality levels.
Cognac must be made from a specific selection of grapes, double distilled in copper alembic stills and aged for a minimum of two years in French Limousin oak. Cognac is most often blended, utilizing grapes from different regions, as well as barrels of different ages. There’s also a hierarchy of quality for Cognac. These Hierachies are explained next.
THE CRUS OF COGNAC Grande Champagne (about 17% of production) Light Eaux-de-vie with the predominant floral bouquet. They require long aging in oak to achieve full maturity. The soils have soft chalk, with outlying areas of more hard limestone, sand, and clay. 90
INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
Petite Champagne (about 22% of production) Similar to Grande Champagne, but without the exceptional finesse. The soils here are similar to Grande Champagne, but the soft chalky areas are deeper and less porous, which changes the way the plants receive nutrients. Borderies (about 5% of production) The smallest cru, which produces fine and round Eaux-de-vie, with the very smooth aroma of violets. Fins Bois (about 43% of production) Round, supple Eaux-de-vie that ages fairly quickly with an aroma of freshly pressed grapes. - COGNAC, BRANDY & ARMAGNAC
Bons Bois (about 12% of production) These Eaux-de-vie age quickly. Bois Ordinaires (about 1% of production) Similar to Bons Bois, but with more rustic character. Each cru (region) has a specific character and gives different aromas to wines and eau-devie. If you do not see any of these names on the label, it is almost for sure a blend of different aged eaux-de-vie from different areas. Although, we can also find single varietal Cognac brandies from each cru. Exciting! If there is “1er Cru” written on the label, it is a Cognac solely from Grande Champagne.
ARMAGNAC Armagnac, an aged French brandy hailing from a region south of Cognac, has started to gain traction in the UK as an
often more affordable Cognac alternative. Three sub-regions exist within Armagnac and, as opposed to Cognac’s double alembic still distillation, brandy production in the area typically involves a single distillation using column stills. Armagnac’s spirit classification system is similar to Cognac’s. Here though, V.S.O.P. indicates a minimum age of five years, rather than four, X.O. is stays put at six years, and Hors d’Age indicates a minimum of 10 years
BRANDIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD BRANDY DE JEREZ
A Spanish brandy made in the Jerez region of Andalusia.
CALVADOS
Hails from France, however, it’s an apple brandy and must come from the Normandy region.
GRAPPA
An Italian pomace brandy, made from the pomace left over after winemaking.
OUZO
From Greece, is also made from pomace, however, it’s flavored with anise and potentially other herbs, so is not technically a brandy. PALINKA
A Hungarian fruit brandy that dates back to the 14th century. Palenka, meanwhile, comes from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. PISCO
A Peruvian brandy, although Chile makes it too under different classifications and the two nations battle over the term. As opposed to Cognac, with mandatory oak barrel aging, Peruvian pisco cannot be aged in wood. RAKIA
A Balkan fruit brandy, but it’s not to be confused with Raki, a Turkish anise-flavored spirit distilled from grape pomace à la Ouzo. SCHNAPPS
A broad classification of fruit brandies from Germany.

efforts of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, there’s a lot of information to take in. And while something like whiskey (or whisky) might confuse with its “Straight Bourbons,” “Single Malts,” “Blended Grains,” and so on, nowhere is the alphabet soup of spirits labelling so confusing as with Cognac and Armagnac, France’s two famous Brandy regions. You’ve seen them—letters like V.S., A.C., X.O. So what does it all mean? Before you try to rearrange the letters like some kind of Sunday jumble, just remember this: all the letters on any bottle of Cognac or Armagnac you’ll see refer to one thing: ageing. Not that that means any of it’s simple since aging standards really just set minimums (as in the minimum number of years any component of the blend in the bottle). But many Cognac and Armagnac houses will age well beyond set minimums, meaning quality can vary. Best is to buy in the moderate range, read some reviews, see what you like, and go from there (that is, don’t necessarily start with anything “extra” or “superior,” unless you’ve got cash to spend).

robably the oldest of all highstrength alcoholic beverages, liqueurs were originally the preserve of monks who produced them primarily for medicinal purposes. The first written record of a liqueur belongs to Kummel in 1575, but it was known that certain religious orders had been producing elixirs for centuries before this date. Some liqueurs sold today still retain their ancient heritage and their recipes are often closely guarded secrets. In some instances, they are not even written down but passed on by word of mouth from one generation to the next, while with others, the holders of these secrets refuse to fly on the same plane as one another! It is important to make a distinction between liqueurs and spirits even if this distinction can on occasion become somewhat blurred. A liqueur is a spirit that has been sweetened and flavoured, whereas natural sugars are fermented into alcohol and subsequently distilled to make a spirit. To make a liqueur, one needs something with which to sweeten the spirit (generally sugar or honey) and something soluble with which to flavour it. The character of a liqueur will

always come from these flavouring agents rather than from the base spirit. Hence the derivation of the word liqueur from the Latin liquefacere, meaning to dissolve or liquify. According to a 1989 European law, liqueurs must have a minimum of 15% alcohol and a minimum of 100 grams of sugar per litre (250g/litre to be called crèmes de fruits). Additionally, they can be made with fruits, natural flavourings, naturally synthesised aromas, and flavourings—where the fruit molecule has been recreated. However, the latter is The range of liqueurs is diverse and can be broadly categorised as: FRUIT BRANDIES Such as cherry and apricot brandy. Despite being called brandy these are not brandies at all; they are by definition liqueurs. A real cherry brandy would be a spirit of cherry such as Kirsch. FRUIT CRÈMES Notably Crème de Cassis and Crème de Peche. CITRUS For example, triple sec and curaçao. - LIQUEURS & SPECIALITY

MIXED & SINGLE HERB OR FLOWER Petals, seeds or roots (for example, caraway, mint, aniseed, violet, rose and compounded bitters, which have more than 100g/litre of sugar added). BEANS & KERNELS For example cocoa beans, coffee beans, vanilla pods, nuts. DAIRY CREAMS Often based on Irish whiskey, brandy, toffee or peppermint. MISTELLES Fresh fruit juice with its fruit distillate and a minimum of 100g/litre sugar are classified as mistelles; in this case the addition of high-strength alcohol prevents the juice from fermenting whilst stabilising the character and natural sugars of the fruit. Some are based on grapes normally grown to make wine; such as Pineau de Charentes from Cognac, Floc de Gascogne from Armagnac and the many Ratafias produced in French wine regions; and were historically drunk at the ratification of treaties, these are classified separately by the EU.

HOW ARE LIQUEURS MADE?
Firstly one selects the base (often supplied by a neutral spirit rectifier), for its neutrality or inherent flavour, and secondly one collects the flavouring matter. These materials are often from all over the world, selected for pungency, colour and depth of aroma. The base and flavourings can then simply be combined and requisite sweetening added. The methods of extracting flavour often dictate its depth and breadth: COLD MACERATION This can take a long time, in fact as long as a year in some cases, and is the only method that can be used in the case of some aromatic plants to truly retain their character and colour. HOT INFUSION A method not dissimilar to a coffee percolator whereby the crushed flavouring agent is placed in a filter and hot liquid poured through it. Unlike the coffee machine, however, it works on a cycle and the liquid is passed and re-passed through the filter. DISTILLATION The material is directly distilled in a pot still with its alcohol base, or the vapours of the distillate are passed through filters containing the crushed flavouring matter. MECHANICAL PRESSURE The flavouring substance, such as fruit peel, is milled and pressed to extract the flavour. Sugars in syrup form will normally be added post distillation to the spirit, or combined with the drawnoff macerate and then added to the spirit. In many cases, such as with cream liqueurs, this may involve the use of a stabilising agent at the same time. The product then rests to encourage harmonisation. Often the marrying time is quite short, but some liqueurs are aged in tank or cask to allow the deepening of the flavour or the influence of oak.
flavourings. Two examples that illustrate the parameters are: CURAÇAO The original Curaçao was a liqueur flavoured with the dried peel of citrus fruit grown on the island of Curaçao in the Dutch West Indies, the peel being macerated in alcohol to release its flavour and oils prior to blending with other herbs/spices, sweetened to the required degree and then bottled. It was sometimes known as triple sec as the maceration or subsequent distillation of the orange flavour was completely dry and it was completely colourless. Today, both terms Curaçao and Triple Sec tend to represent generic liqueurs whose predominant flavour is derived from citrus peel and these are made all around the world. Mostly now produced from flavour-type concentrates, it may be coloured (hence the availability of orange and blue styles), have an alcoholic content from 15 to above 40 % and may have a sugar content from as little as 100g to 300g/litre. The huge popularity of Curaçao is helped as it is an essential ingredient in some of the world’s favourite cocktails such as the Margarita. CASSIS Within the Cassis family, Crème de Cassis de Dijon is different from other crème de fruits because it is more heavily regulated as a product of geographical designation. The liqueur must be made from only a maceration of blackcurrants, of which 25% must be the ‘Noir de Bourgogne’ variety, and it needs to contain a minimum of 400 grams of sugar per litre. This gives a perfect marriage between the acidity of the fruit and the depth and sweetness of the alcoholic syrup it is blended with. The whole process must take place within the city of Dijon, France and the quality is inspected and certified by independent verifiers

WHAT CAN
BE FOUND
ON THE
LABEL
BRAND NAME Many of the most famous liqueurs stand on their own as brands; others include the name of the proprietary spirits they are based on. These should always guarantee the user of quality. PRODUCER NAME Many of the world’s biggest producers have big ranges of flavours covering all types of liqueur. To them, their name is the most important and the flavour is generic. F L AVO U R I N G S Here the liqueur world is confusing. One man’s violet could be similar to another’s Parfait d’Amour, both of which often contain vanilla, or rose petal. Oriental melon liqueurs may use the same ingredient but call themselves by what the fruit is known as in the local language. However, in general the predominant flavour will be indicated by its name or a picture of the fruit, flower or spice. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN The traditions and palate of the indigenous population can also have an influence on the flavour. This is most evident with regard to levels of sweetness with some countries preferring sweeter or drier liqueurs to others. - LIQUEURS & SPECIALITY 99

FEELING THE NEED
FOR R M ME EA AD D Whether you are channelling your inner Jon Snow or maybe you are into history, either way, we have just the thing for you. Mead, the hot topic at the moment, is the worlds oldest alcoholic beverage and it’s coming back into fashion! Mead is an alcohol made from honey, popularised by the Vikings around the world; then the recipes were later perfected by monks. Mead is quickly coming back into fashion with hordes of people grabbing a bottle to watch the final season of Games of Thrones! The Modern Mead Co produce their Original English Mead using a blend of Mexican & English honey. It is very much a contemporary take on classic recipes of old, taking long-forgotten methods and using modern techniques. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cardamom, orange and lemon zest are then added to create a spiced style of Mead which is perfect for the modern-day pallet. We recommend drinking neat, with a good quality ginger beer or in their signature serve cocktail, the Meadmosa!
THE MEADMOSA 2 parts The Modern Mead Co Original English Mead 2 parts Sparkling Wine 1 part Orange Juice Mix all ingredients together in a champagne flute or wine glass. 102

COTSWOLDS CREAM LIQUEUR DESCRIPTION Our Cotswolds Cream Liqueur is a delicious treat made by combining our new-make single malt spirit with fresh cream. The cream is naturally preserved by the alcohol and the combination produces a wonderfully rich and luscious liqueur. Best consumed over ice, chilled or in coffee, Cotswolds Cream Liqueur is surprisingly light and silky with delicious toffee and vanilla notes. Once opened store in the fridge.
SINGLE MALT The spirit in our Cotswolds Cream Liqueur is produced in our rural distillery using bespoke copper pot stills. We use only locally-grown Cotswolds barley, which is traditionally floor malted for us. Our distillation process takes place daily and is carried out entirely by hand. It yields a wonderfully light, sweet and fruity new-make spirit. We think it makes a wonderful whisky and we hope that you’ll try our Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky in October.
CREAM We always dreamed of combining our Single Malt Spirit with cream, but didn’t have the necessary equipment to do this to scale. After searching far and wide we found our wonderful partners in Tipperary, Ireland. These experts combine our Cotswolds Single Malt Spirit with the freshest Irish cream.
‘A sensational product, with our Single Malt Spirit at its very heart’ R E SS . C O M XP

SAKE
ice has always been a very important part of Japanese culture, dating back seemingly to the dawn of time. It is of course a staple food, has even been used as currency and, importantly for us, crucial to the production of sake.
Legends regarding the genesis of sake are varied, with some suggesting that rice brewing began in China. Others, that it was the rise of we t rice cultivation in 3rd Century Japan (the Yayoi Era) that gave rise to moulds, which subsequently paved the way for fermentation. However; what is known is that around 300BC ‘kuchikamino sake’ (chewed sake) was made by people chewing rice and spitting it into collective containers. Not particularly appetizing I’m sure you’ll agree, but it had to start somewhere. The enzymes from the saliva saccharified the starch and the repulsive concoction was then fermented. Happily, ‘koji-kin’ (the mould Aspergillus oryzae) was subsequently discovered and its enzymes effected the conversion of starch to sugar in an altogether far more appealing manner. Rice inoculated with koji-kin becomes ‘kome-koji’ (malt rice); the only difference between this process and the conversion of barley to malted barley is that with barley the necessary enzymes are naturally already present. Further improvements came between 800AD and 1200AD (the Heian Era); 112 EXPRES EXPRES S -S DRINK - DRINK S POR S POR TFOLIO TF 112 INNINN
notably the three step addition – a starter mash known as ‘moto’ (root) or ‘shubo’ (mother of sake) was used and brewers finally managed to isolate kojikin for the first time giving them greater control and consistency. Jumping forward a few hundred years saw a need to increase production dramatically during the Second World War. This was effected by the addition of pure alcohol and glucose to the mash resulting in a threefold increase. Today, much sake is still made this way most and small breweries throughout Japan. WHAT IS SAKE? Firstly; sake is not a rice wine, as this would imply the fermentation of fruit sugars. It is really a sort of strong Japanese rice beer with an alcohol by volume as high as 20%. Having concluded that it is not a wine it is, however, immediately noticeable that the complexity and range of aromas, flavours, fragrances, characters and styles found in sake are more reminiscent of wine than beer. Sake literally translated is “alcoholic beverage” which has been
|20 SAKE - SAKE
taken in the West to mean a Japanese alcoholic beverage fermented from rice. ‘Nihonshu’ is the word in Japanese that distinguishes it from other beverages and is the real word for what we know as Sake. However, to add to the confusion, filtered or clear sake is correctly known as ‘Seishu’ whilst cloudy sake is known as ‘Nigorishu’. But in the West, it will forever be known as Sake. Japanese Law defines ‘shu’ or sake as, “made from rice, rice koji and water using fermentation and filtration processes”. how IS SAKE made? Traditionally, sake is produced during the winter, with premium sakes only made between December and March. Thanks to advancements in brewery technology it is now possible to produce sake throughout the year but premium sakes are still only made during the coldest months. The type of rice used is vital to the quality of the final product. Examples of superior sake rice grains include: Yamada-nishki, Nihon-baré and Miyamanishki.
SPIRITS
Water is crucial. It is the reason that Kobe and Kyoto emerged as the brewing capitals of Japan – and a high content of potassium, magnesium and phosphoric acid and low levels of iron are ideal. Different types of water result in different styles of sake; for example Hyogo has hard water giving full-bodied, complex sake whilst Kyoto has softer water resulting in soft, light sake. Sakes from these two regions are often described as male and female.
oryzae, spread out and put on a table top. It is then wrapped and left in the kojimuro. About 12 hours later the brewery staff will massage the tightly packed cultivating rice relaxing the solid mass and ensuring an even exposure to the koji mould. After up to 48 hours the now fuzzy looking rice will be unwrapped and spread out to prevent further mould growth. The mould visible on the outside will also have penetrated the heart of the kernel and the koji is now prepared.
Approximately 60 special strains of high starch rice are used and the degree to which the rice is milled also plays a major role. Milling removes proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins from the exterior of the grain leaving only the white starch heart; more thorough milling results in fewer congeners, therefore a cleaner brew and a finer product.
The koji is then combined with steamed rice, water and kobo (yeast) in a small tank. The type of kobo has a considerable bearing on the resultant sake with some strains giving floral pear like aromas in the sake and others earthier, more mushroom-like characters.
The milled rice is then soaked. This process is a very precise element in proceedings, scrupulously timed to the second in order to ensure perfectly soaked rice. The rice, now containing the ideal amount of water, is then steamed for up to an hour (depending on the brewery master and the prevailing weather) until the rice is firm on the outside and soft in the middle; an ideal condition for koji production and fermentation. The rice is then cooled. The rice is taken into the hot, humid ‘kojimuro’ (cultivation room) and is sprinkled with koji mould, or Aspergillus

AKASHI-TAI SHIRAUME Ginjo Umeshu A very popular Japanese liqueur made by steeping the Ume plum in sake with the addition of sugar. This one is rich and warming, beautifully smooth with no alcohol burn.
The mixture is then left to ferment for up to two weeks. This ‘moto’ or yeast starter (also known as ‘shubo’) is highly concentrated, hugely yeast rich, has an abv of about 11% and greatly aids the next stage of fermentation. Virtually all the glucose will have been converted to alcohol at this stage and so more koji, steamed rice and water are added in three stages over a four-day period giving a final mash mixture known as ‘moromi’. This unique method with simultaneous saccharification and fermentation is known as multiple parallel fermentation.

sake simple guide
A Japanese alcoholic drink made from fermented rice, water and koji (form of mould). Classifications are key to distinguishing different types of sake. Get to know the classifications, this will help you roughly predict the taste and aroma of a sake. It will also guide you on whether the sake should be served chilled or warmed. Here are 6 useful classifications to know:
Junmai-shu
Pure Sake with no brewer’s alcohol added. Full, rich, earthy with savoury notes such as steamed rice and mushroom. Best served warmed or chilled.
Ginjo-shu
Fermented at low temperatures in a labor-intensive process. Light and delicate, the flavour profile is best enjoyed chilled.
Daiginjo-shu
A type of Ginjo-shu. Rice is milled to half of its original size for a clean elegant taste. Extremely fragrant with a full complex body.
Honjozo-shu
Made by adding brewer’s alcohol. Which creates a light smooth sake. Can be served chilled or warm.
Polishing
Rice grains are polished in order to remove fat and proteins; to reveal the starchy component at the core. The polishing process greatly influences the final taste of a sake. Generally, the more fat and proteins are removed during the polishing process the cleaner and fruitier the sake. In contrast, a low polishing ratio will result in savory, grainy, rice-like flavours which are full-bodied. High polishing rates are classified as:
Ginjo
To legally qualify as a Ginjo (premium) sake, the rice has to be polished to at least 60% of its original size.
Daiginjo
For Daiginjo (super premium sake) the rice has to be polished to at least 50% of its original size.
Nigorizake
Coarsely filtered sake with small amount of rice solids left in the liquid. Tends to be cloudy or white in colour and often sweet in flavour. Serve chilled.
Namazake
Unpasteurised sake. All types of sake can be categorized as Namazake if they have not been pasteurised. Keep refrigerated

Serving. Hot or Cold?* Serve chilled serve warm Whether to serve sake chilled or warm is really a question of personal preference. - SAKE
Sake was served warm to mask harsh flavours, imperfections and grainy textures. However, developments in brewing technologies led to higher quality sake being produced with delicate flavour profiles. These profiles would be destroyed if served warm. As a general rule fruity sakes like ginjo and daiginjo are served chilled and earthy, savoury sakes like junmai and honjozo are more versatile and can be warmed. However, this is heavily dependent on the individual and type of sake.
Koji
Sake is produced in a brewing process which has more similarities to beer production than wine. One of the fundamental differences between sake and beer is this: sake rice does not contain the kinds of enzymes that barley does, so an additional ingredient is needed to help convert the rice’s starch into sugar. The ingredient used is Koji. This is the magical mould which makes the sake brewing process possible. When koji is combined with the rice, enzymes are produced which break up the starch in the rice and turn it into sugar.
The majority of sake can also be served at room temperature
SPIRITS
sake production SAKE
Three crucial elements are involved in brewing sake: Climate, Ingredients and production methods. However , the process remains somewhat mysterious, especially to Western cultures. Since rice does not contain any sugar, it cannot be fermented As is. It has to first be converted into sugar with the hel p of enzymes found in a particular moUld called koji . It ’s from this extremely elaborate and complex process that we get sake.
MILLING
KOJI MAKING
FERMENTATION
The rice is milled down to the desired size. This process is hugely influential to the final flavour and texture of the sake.
Koji mould, in the form of a dried powder, is sprinkled on freshly steamed rice. It is then taken to a room where a high temperature and humidity are maintained. The process takes from about 35 to 45 hours to complete during which the rice is constantly checked. When ready it has the aroma of sweet chestnuts.
When more freshly steamed rice and koji is added to the moromi, the koji keeps converting the starch in the steamed rice into sugar while the yeast feeds off the sugar and turns it into alcohol. This system is called Multiple Parallel Fermentation and is very unique to sake production. The fermentation can take anywhere from 4 weeks to 8 weeks to complete depending on the flavour and style.
REST PERIOD The rice is given time to absorb a little moisture from the air. This is so it doesn’t crack when washed with water.
SHUBO
(Starter mash)
WASHING The rice is washed to remove residual milled powder. This unwanted residue is sold off to confectioners, cracker makers and to farmers as animal feed.
THE SOAK To hydrate the rice it is soaked. This can take as little as a minute for highly polished rice but lightly milled is left overnight. The water content of the grain needs to be just right for the next step.
STEAMING The rice is then steam-cooked. This is a very carefully controlled process as the amount of water absorbed by the rice has a huge effect on the taste and texture of the final product.
This is made by adding the Koji, water and yeast together along with some lactic acid, which inhibits the growth of unwanted bacteria. Fresh steamed rice is added and the yeast is cultivated over 10 to 15 days. This completes the starter mash at which stage the concentration of yeast cells is approximately 100 million in a teaspoon.
MOROMI
PRESSING Occurs after fermentation has finished in order to separate the liquid from the solids. This freshly pressed sake could be consumed as Namazake but usually it is pasteurised and stored in the tank to mature for several months or ore. For those sake with added brewers’ alcohol such as honjozo and ginjo, the alcohol is carefully blended right before pressing.
(Main mash)
When the Shubo is complete more steamed rice, water and koji are added once a day for 3 days, roughly doubling the volume each time. These gradual additions enable the yeast to tolerate the increases in alcohol levels. This entire process is how the starch in the rice is converted to sugar.
BOTTLING After being matured in the tank for several months the sake is ready to be drunk, it is typically watered down to achieve the desired alcohol percentage, then pasteurised once again before being bottled. The tank used for sake production is typically stainless steel or enamel coated.

Brewery owner – Responsible for the property, finances and raw materials.
toji
Head brewer – Responsible for overseeing the brewing and managing the Kurabito.
kurabito
Brewery workers. Sake is only brewed in the winter so often the Toji and Kurabito are seasonal contract workers.
kura
The brewery and surrounding land is referred to as the Kura.
toji schools (Ryuha)
A Toji is generally associated with only one Ryuha of brewing. These Ryuha are tied closely to the particular region they are situated in Japan. There are roughly 25 in existence currently. They are generally situated in the snowy regions of Japan like the northern Hokoriku region. Each Ryuha has its own style. In 1798 the Shoganate formalised an economic system based upon rice. They decreed that no sake making was to be done before the 116 INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
Autumn Equinox. This meant that the brewers had to employ farmers and fishermen who had a lot of free time in the winter. This is still the case. Travelling for seasonal work in Japan is called Dekasegi. Although dekasegi isn’t limited to sake workers, they tend to be the best paid and so competition for the work is strong.
learning the trade A Toji will mainly learn through on the job training. In the old days no one taught anyone else by direct instruction; you had to watch and learn! This was felt to give a pupil a more natural intuition about each situation. As a result if you gathered 100 Toji you would find 100 different brewing styles. In modern times however this system has changed somewhat and prospective Toji are encouraged to study chemistry and fermentation techniques.
typical working day The Kurabito will wake up at around 5am. The first thing to do will be to check the status of the koji, an extremely important part of the day. Next is the status of the various tanks of fermenting moromi. These will also be checked daily. This often - SAKE
means making a chemical analysis to determine if various compounds are sufficiently present. However, the Toji will not rely on this alone. He uses experience and most importantly his senses to judge the condition of the moromi. He looks at the amount and appearance of the foam as it churns and pops as well as listening to the sound the bubbles make as they burst. This is known as “talking to the moromi”. After checking the moromi and koji breakfast is taken. This is followed by preparations for the sake that is to be brewed that day. There are usually several different types of sake to be brewed in any one day so care must be paid to keep the various rice types separate. Also any sake that is ready will be pressed. These tasks will last until the evening and dinner. After dinner one last check and mix of the koji is made and then to bed around 10pm.

The Yonezawa family commenced sake production in 1856 in Akashi, one of the major fishing towns in western Japan. Akashi Sake Brewery had always been a small artisanal brewery producing sake for the local populace using only the finest local ingredients. It was only when the current president, Kimio Yonezawa, took over the reins that Akashi-Tai became a quality kura with a difference. Yonezawa is obsessed with retaining as much of the character of the high quality rice AkashiTai use as possible. He also puts great emphasis on sensory analysis controlling the quality and consistency of his sake rather than using hi-tech wizardry. Despite this approach, modern innovations have been embraced as well and temperature controlled fermentation has been introduced in recent years.

VODKA The essential guide
120
SPIRITS VODKA
a brief history Which country warrants the accolade of first producing vodka? The answer to this question is unclear. The general consensus, however, is that knowledge of distillation travelled north and then east from Salerno and thus perhaps Poland has the strongest claim. Russia can, however, lay claim as the first to export vodka with records showing a shipment to Sweden in 1505 and Poland’s first exports a century later. In 1546 Polish King Jan Olbracht, exhibiting a remarkable degree of egalitarianism for the time, permitted all his subjects to produce vodka. Sadly, by 1572 the landed gentry revoked this, thus acquiring sole rights to both production and sale. The 18th and 19th centuries saw two big improvements : the discovery of
charcoal filtration and the invention of the continuous still. The remarkable young Swede, Lars Olson Smith, emerged at this time. A prodigy, a distilling obsessive and a perfectionist. Before he was 20 he had successfully taken on the Stockholm establishment with his Absolut Rent Brannvin. Sweden’s first vodka from a continuous still was such a triumph that Smith had to invest in more distilleries and wheat fields in order to meet demand. The 20th century was the era of state monopolies in eastern Europe. In 1917 Russia, the Bolsheviks took everything into state ownership. This included the distillery which had previously held the Royal Warrant. Its owner, Piotr Smirnov—who later
changed his name to Smirnoff—barely escaped with his life, and after exile in both Paris and America, two distinct styles of vodka emerged. Eastern European vodkas always had some character ; a taste of the raw material from which they were distilled. Smirnoff’s new set up in America produced completely neutral vodka which ultimately found huge success as a mixer—leaping to fame with the post-war Moscow Mule. Over the last twenty years, and especially since the re-privatisation of distilleries in Russia and Poland, the global market has expanded. One has also seen the birth of premium and super premium vodkas from traditional countries and others, most notably France and the USA.

ROGUE
WAV E Rogue Wave, a single malt vodka in tribute to the cousin of James Watt, one of BrewDog’s Founders’, One-Armed Alex, a man you’ll never forget. When it comes to going rogue, One-Armed Alex wrote the book - once he learned to write again. With his good arm floating somewhere in the North Sea due to a freak fishing accident, Alex refused to be left swimming in circles, and instead dived head first into life. He laughed at doctors and went straight back to sailing, throwing fireworks at boats, just because. Distilled over 7 days, vapour passes through the World’s first triple-bubble copper pot still, before it hits the 19-metrerecification column - the higher it goes the purer it gets. Extreme copper contact gives uncompromising quality, filtering just once, so the spirit keeps its soul. Crisp, clean, with subtle notes of icing sugar and vanilla. Rogue Wave is a vodka you’ll never forget. 122
FLAVOURED VODKAS Flavoured vodkas are often thought of as a modern trend. However, it was the way in which vodka was originally drunk. Centuries ago the understanding of distillation was not what it is today—nor was the quality of raw materials—which resulted in a virtually undrinkable spirit full of toxic elements and excessive fusels. Flavouring was one way of making it palatable and more pleasing aromatically. Nowadays, in order to flavour vodka a producer can either choose the cheaper option of adding extracts or the quality route of macerating the flavouring ingredients in the vodka at an ambient temperature. Some ingredients yield unique flavours, others labelled simply with one flavour may be totally different from another. In some instances the flavourings, such as honey or fortified wines, are added in a blending process just before bottling, in others the flavoured vodka is aged in cask.
VODKA
Filtration is vodkas equivalent of cask maturation ; it tames the spirit’s power, ideally replacing it with mellowness and balance. Generations of experience have shown that charcoal from either silver birch or alder, which has been steamed or treated chemically, is one of the best mediums. This activated charcoal is extremely absorbent. Limousin charcoal, however, has recently been used to very good effect in France and quartz sand is also used in many countries.
Filtration is usually effected by pumping through columns containing the filtering medium; however, cheaper vodkas may simply gravity feed through a tank of it. Although it is less expensive, channels start to form with this latter method, reducing the filtration’s effectiveness. The vodka can also be reduced in many HOW IS VODKA MADE? stages during the filtration process to help marry the demineralised water The first requirement is to convert and the spirit. the starch to sugar in order to effect an alcoholic fermentation.

Traditionally, however, the Today, the vast majority of vodkas are produced in column stills. Alcoholic distillation works on the basis that alcohol, with a boiling point of 78.3 ˚C, is more volatile than water and thus when an alcoholic wash is heated, the alcohol vapourises first. The wash is introduced into the rectifier and heats up as it flows downwards, it then enters the analyser where it meets the hot steam and begins to vapourise. The vapours then flow back into the rectifier where the distiller collects the portion he wants at the un-perforated spirit plate. It is worth noting that the congeners

have different boiling points too and as the vapours rise through the rectifier the congeners are separated; therefore, the higher the number of rectifications, the purer the spirit may be.
material selected for making vodka was determined by what was grown in the various producing regions; giving rise to regional styles and favoured methods of production. Economics also often played a part in the decision-making process. Wheat, for example, has more starch than the others, thus producing more alcohol and resulting in lower production costs.

Unlike many other famous spirits where quality is indicated by industry standard terms such as VSOP, branded quality names such as Paradis or simply age statements, the vodka drinker must look for different quality indicators on the label. The most meaningful are: BRAND NAME Certain vodka’s have a residual taste from their original, base—rye is the most distinctive. PRODUCED FROM The indication of what base ingredient was used. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN /DISTILLATION The country of origin will also influence the flavour, Polish producers favour rye, Russians wheat and so on. FL AVOURS No two pepper or lemon vodkas are the same, again the brand influence and the flavouring ingredients will be different get to know favourites by tasting.

RAW MATERIALS We select the best wheat and rye which is cleaned and mashed.
FERMENTATION The grain mash is blended with purified water and fermentation begins at high a temperature, followed by mash maturation at steady pace for 3 days.
DISTILLATION Distillations follows immediately after our mash matures, driving it through states of immense pressure and heat to remove volatile impurities. This process is repeated 3 times for the best purest result
FILTRATION A textbook three-stage filtration which starts with quartz sand and progresses on to activated charcoal before a final filtration back through quartz sand to deliver vodka of great purity and authentic style.
NOSE
Fresh Clean Robust notes alongside refreshing aniseed
1938
The recipe for Moskovskaya vodka improves over time until it reaches perfection. Today it is still produced using the original improved formula by M.Kucherov, earning the designation of “Osobaya” quality vodka. This word is stamped on each bottle, reflecting the quality that has been delivered for decades.
TASTE
Elegantly light Minty Underlying creamy aniseed savoury grain Retains elegance and freshness as flavour builds
1945
FINISH
Smooth Creamy Long lasting Light sweetness
Celebrating victory at the end of WWII, each soldier is given a gift of two bottles of Moskovskaya at the legendary parade through Red Square in Moscow.
1960
Moskovskaya vodka gains popularity and now leads the mainstream segment in the Soviet Union, becoming the obvious choice for family celebrations and spending time with friends.

TEQUILA The essential guide 132
SPIRITS
TEQUILA & MEZCAL
H
aving polished off the brandy that they had brought with them the 16th century Conquistadors found themselves in need of something to distil. The Aztecs – including the Tarahumara and Apache Indians (Chihuahua), the Ticuila Indians (Tequila) and Zapotec and Nahutal Indians had been producing a beer they called octli – more latterly known as pulque made from species of the agavaceae family as early as 800 years ago. Accordingly the newcomers distilled what they found and the result was effectively the first Sotols, Tequilas and Mezcals. The industry – and in particular the Tequila industry - subsequently grew very quickly and by 1656 the village of Tequila had been granted a charter by the Governor of New Galicia. In 1795 Jose Cuervo was granted a licence and 78 years later in 1783 his distillery made the first export: 3 barrels to El Paso, Texas. In 1824 the state of Jalisco was created by which time dozens of distilleries had been established. In the 1930s in order to cope with demand the practice of adding non-agave sugars to agavaceae spirits became popular. Known as ‘mixtos’ the resultant distillates were relatively bland when compared with 100% agavaceae spirits but in one respect this helped them become more popular abroad. In Chihuahua, Sotols are made only form 100% agavaceae; there are no mixtos at all. In 1992 the Consejo Regulador del Tequila was established and in 1997 Oaxaca was awarded DO Status for Mezcal although the spirit is indigenous to various regions including Acapulco. DO Status is currently being sought by Sotol producers who have put in place an active and very extensive conservation program to ensure the availability of the Desert Spoon in its natural habitat. The word agave is Greek in origin and literally means “magnificent”. Today many species of the agavaceae family are used to make quality quintessentially Mexican spirits thus proving true the ancient Aztec philosophy that “when you specialise and remain focused on your origins a cult status is bound to follow”. In legally demarcated areas (from North to South) the following spirits are produced from different species of the agavaceae family:
SOTOL
The state drink of Chihuahua is made from Dasylirion wheeleri more commonly known as the Desert Spoon or in Spanish the Sotol plant.
TEQUILA
From the state of Jalisco primarily from the region surrounding the city of Tequila is made from the Agave tequilana more commonly known as Weber Azur or Blue
MEZCAL
Mezcal the state drink of Oaxaca; most of its distilleries are still run by Zapotec Indians. It is made from various different species including a maguey variety and Agave augustifolia Haw more commonly known as espadin. The name “Mezcal” is derived from the Nahutal Indian meaning “roasted agave”. The plants are well suited to their respective soils and climates. The Blue Agave thrives in the high, dry, mineral rich volcanic plain of the Sierra Madre whilst the ‘Sotol’ plant grows wild – and therefore organically - very successfully on the rocky slopes in the Chihuahuan desert grassland at altitude. The latter is the smallest of all the spirit giving agavaceae growing to about 21/2’ in height with the piňa weighing approximately 10kg. The others are farmed and are similar to one another insofar as they are about 5’ in height and can weigh anything from 20kg – 60kg. For Sotols and Tequilas the starches are converted to sugars by cooking the piňas in steam ovens traditionally at 950C for 36 hours although more modern methods include pressure-cooking which gets the job done in half the time. Whereas for Mezcals the piňas are slow roasted, often in pit ovens, for about 3 days. As they roast they absorb smoke, which gives Mezcal one of its most distinctive characteristics and has the additional benefit of activating the wild yeasts allowing the cooked hearts to start fermenting naturally. These piňas are then crushed and mashed and left to complete fermentation. This can take some time but as it does the liquid starts to naturally separate from the mulch. With Sotols and Tequilas the cooked piňas are either shredded or crushed and the aguamiel (sweet juice) drained into the fermentation vat.
Those that crush will put both liquid and fibres into the vat and may in tequila production also put these into the first distillation. Fermentation today is virtually always in temperaturecontrolled stainless steel with most modern firms preferring to use their own yeast strain. Typically fermentation will last 72 hours at most, however in the event that wild yeasts alone are used that timeframe would be about 5 days as is the case with Tres Majures so-called ‘yeast-free’ method. The ‘mosto muerto’, which is between 5%abv and 10%abv, is sent for distillation with most Tequilas and Mezcals coming off the still at between 55%abv and 65%abv respectively. Most Tequila producers use Double Distillation in Stainless Steel pots although copper is playing more and more of a role in the region nowadays. Mezcal was traditionally single distilled but is now normally distilled twice in copper pot still whilst the Sotol producer Hacienda de Chihuahua use a Pot Column giving a spirit off the still at about 75%abv. Only oak barrels may be used for ageing tequila and the spirit therein must be between 38%abv and 55%abv. Typically ex Bourbon barrels will be used although this is not always the case. The following designations apply for all agavaceae spirits:
SILVER, BLANCA or PLATA
Released after a brief marrying period in stainless steel – typically about 30 days
GOLD or JOVEN ABOCADO Has caramel added
REPOSADO
2 – 12 months ageing in oak
ANEJO
12 months plus ageing in oak
A word about the worm! It is a marketing gimmick, which made its first appearance in the mid 20th century. It is not actually a worm at all but the larval form of the moth Hypopta agavis that lives on agavaceae plants. Tequilas never have a worm in them and only certain Mezcals – primarily from Oaxaca are sold con gusano. If sales of these mezcals continue to grow these moths will eventually become extinct.

CAMPBELTOWN Glen Scotia Distillery
Campbeltown the 5 th region
glen SCotia diStilery
Towards the southern end of the Mull of Kintyre, Campbeltown is an isolated, distinctive place. The whisky produced here is special too – so much so that it’s classified as a separate region, quite apart from the Highland, Speyside, Lowland and Islay whiskies which are perhaps better known today.
Glen Scotia has always produced two styles of whisky; peated and non peated. Typically, the peated whisky is produced over a period of 6 weeks per year. These two styles will be maintained into the future as they are characteristics of the Campbeltown style which Glen Scotia is known for.
Whisky making on the Campbeltown peninsula dates back to 1636 when a farm at Crosshill made a return for 6 quarts of Aqua Vitae payable to the town of Lochhead, the former name for Campbeltown. With the ready availability of local barley ‘bere’, peat for drying the malted barley and fresh water, the area became a rich bed of illicit whisky production through the late 18th century and the first years of the 19th century.
Over the years we have developed our whiskies with longer fermentation and vatting of the malted barley as well as a slower and more careful distillation, but overall the process remains the same. Although we no longer malt our own barley we buy in Scottish malted barley to our exact specification in order to maintain the true Glen Scotia character throughout our distilling process.

W H I S K E Y, W H I S K Y & B O U R B O N
FROM THE BEGINNING
W
hilst legend has it that grains were distilled in 13th century China, it is widely accepted, that Ireland was the birthplace of water of life made from barley. It is known from anecdotal writings that whisky played a part in Ireland’s life from the 1400’s but the first official evidence seems to come from a 1556 Act of Parliament: “...graine in making of aqua vitae...”. The first tangible proof of spirit of barley from the Scottish Exchequer Rolls of 1494 states “VIII bolls of malt to Friar John Cor wherewith to make aquavitae”. John Cor was a monk based at Lindores Abbey in Fife, which existed from the late 1100’s to 1559. A boll was a Scottish measure which would have been the equivalent of just over 5 bushels, and this could have produced about 1000 bottles of spirit, but of course we don’t know what strength the final spirit would have been distilled to. Regardless, the nomenclature is clearly Celtic; aqua vitae in Gaelic is uisge beatha, which became uisge and ultimately whisky. In both countries distillation developed through the middle ages and by the 17th century whisky drinking had become widespread. As a result Charles, I saw an opportunity to raise a lot of money; in 1644 taxes were imposed on Scotch whisky and laws passed restricting 138
INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
the rights of distillation to the landed classes. In Ireland taxation began a few years later in 1661. Whilst this may have raised some money for the Exchequer it really gave rise to illicit distillation. Either distillers made false declarations and sold quietly on the side, or more commonly, they simply disappeared into the countryside with their stills. Across the Atlantic, the first wave of America’s Scots and Irish immigrants also brought distilling techniques (although it is more likely rum was the first to be made in America; molasses being brought to New England from the Caribbean as part of the trade triangle of slaves, molasses and rum) and by the mid 1600’s applejack, peach brandy and whisky were being produced along the East Coast. These pioneering colonists soon found that, whilst barley was ideally suited to British and Irish soils and climates, corn and rye would be much more rewarding crops in their new land. Couple this with a natural disposition for independence and rebellion, and it is not surprising that American whiskey branched off in a totally different direction both in terms of production methods and taste. Head for head, Ireland lead the way in whisky production, the first official distilling licence being granted in 1608 and one hundred years later there were reckoned to be 2,000 stills - WHISKEY, WHISKY & BOURBON
in operation! However, just as Irish distillers probably introduced us to whisky, the country also was the first to introduce formal temperance societies; the establishment of the Ulster Temperance Society in 1818 heralding a century of rising prohibitionist tendencies which finally lead to the Volstead Act in 1920, in the USA. The American temperance moves combined with the development of continuous distillation and the arrival of the phylloxera outbreak in Europe (which temporarily removed brandy from the market) led to the demand for whisky rocketing. Irish whiskey producers prior to this time had been outselling Scotch as they were larger in number and used unmalted barley which produced a more popular lighter spirit. The Scots took to the new Cofffey stills as did the Canadians and in these two countries production advanced enormously, for a period in the 1860’s and 70’s Canada was the world’s largest producer of whisky, but in the 20th century it was in Scotland that the industry powered ahead.
3 is the magic number! It is only after a minimum of 3 years of ageing that Scottish whisky can be called scotch. Some distilleries hold casks of whisky which are a grand 70+ years old.
SPIRITS
what is whisky made from?
W H I S K E Y, W H I S K Y & B O U R B O N
All whiskies are the result of a mash of cereals and water that have been saccharified by enzymes, fermented by yeast and subsequently distilled before being aged in oak barrels and finally bottled. The typical cereal grains include:
BARLEY
With so many strains available today, distillers want to strike the right balance between quality and quantity yielded, they look for plump, ripe barley with plenty of starch and not too much protein or nitrogen. Used predominantly as malted grains.
MAIZE
Widely regarded as producing the weightiest of grain whiskies and the predominant grain in American Bourbon.
WHEAT
Produces lighter whiskies and along with maize produces most of the world’s grain whisky.
RYE
Used on its own, sometimes with a proportion of malted barley and often as the flavouring grain for many Canadian and US whiskies.
OTHER GRAINS AND MIXED RECIPES OF THE ABOVE
Single malts aside, many whiskies utilise a mix of grains depending on the required flavour profile of the brand.
so... how is whisky made? STEEPING
Literally soaking the cereal grains in water. After approximately 48 hours the moisture penetrates the grain. As a result, enzymes in the embryo move to the endosperm, its starch store, thus modifying it from a tough structure to a fragile one and allowing germination. The germination process changes the chemical structure of the starch and the resultant sugars promote seed growth.
MALTING
To Malt or not? Malting the grain eliminates the need to ‘cook’ the cereal to order for us to access the starch we will convert to sugars. Most malted grain is bought from specialist maltsters who will effect the process pneumatically in either box or drum, both of which contain turners that keep the grain separate and ensure the free flow of air throughout the bed. Some malt is still produced on malting floors, where the grain is spread and regularly raked as it begins to
germinate. As a result of converting starch to maltose, rootlets and seedling shoots appear and the grains are now termed green malt. To maximise fermentable matter and retain adequate diastatic power this process is halted and the green malt is sent for drying. For large scale production of grain spirit destined for column distillation, more often the un-malted cereal is cooked under pressure using stem which softens the grain starch, rendering it soluble.
KILNING OR DRYING
The kiln is normally a tower-shaped hot air chamber with a heat source, sometimes fan assisted, below a wire floor that the green malt is spread out on to dry before milling. Here, if peat or wood chips are used or added to the heat source the drying grain can pick up the smokey flavours.
INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
MILLING
The extent to which the grains are milled is crucial to the effectiveness of the resultant grist as it determines the amount of starch that is extracted and converted to sugar during the mashing stage. Too little and not enough starch will be exposed and converted into sugar, too much and the floury consistency will stick, go soggy and prevent good filtration. Ideally the grist should contain a good proportion of unbroken husks as these provide greater buoyancy in the mash and aid filtration in the mash tun—a cylindrical metal vat with rotating paddles. Where mixed grains are used, such as in Bourbon, the different grains are milled separately measured so that the exact proportion of each grain is introduced to the mash cooker in the right sequence and at the right temperature. Often a proportion of malted grain is used to give a starter affect to the fermentation process. - WHISKEY, WHISKY & BOURBON

MASHING
The grist is placed in a mash tun and combined with very hot water giving a slurry where the starch can dissolve and the mixture is left for about an hour. Corn is a very tough grain that must be cooked at extremely high temperatures under pressure in order to modify its structure. Whereas wheat and rye are cooked at lower temperatures ; the former to preserve its character and the latter to ensure that rye clumping which can cause bacterial infection, does not occur. After several hours of cooking and cooling a warm porridge-like product called mash is produced, where the process has converted the starch into sugar, and this is either used directly or ‘lautered’, washed out. For most Scottish and Japanese malt and grain whiskies a sweet liquor known as wort is drained off in successive washes. The wort is then cooled and pumped into the fermentation vessels known as wash backs. In Canada and 142
INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
the USA the lautering process is often omitted and mash is pumped directly to the fermentation vats.
aids consistency of character and ensures, after many generations of distillation, a totally unique product.
FERMENTATION
DISTILLATION
Yeast is added to the cooled wort or mash and fermentation begins; depending on factors including the type of yeast, the temperature and the type of grain, it will normally last about 48 hours and the resultant distiller’s beer will have about 6-8 % abv for rye mashes and up to 14% for corn. In the USA, an additional control on fermentation speed and flavour development is the amount of backset added (which must be a minimum of 25 % of the mash volume to be called sour mash). Backset is the spent grains from the previous distillation, the lees leftover after the alcohol has vaporised; it is very acidic and thus slows fermentation, helps prevent bacterial infection and counters the natural alkalinity of the region’s water. In turn the backset increases the complexity of flavours in the end product, - WHISKEY, WHISKY & BOURBON
The distiller’s beer is now ready to go into the still. Methods have evolved around tradition and convention. In Scotland, malt whiskies are distilled twice or thrice in pot still and all grain whiskies are rectified in column stills. In Ireland, both malted and unmalted grains can be pot distilled, either two or three times, whilst lighter grain whiskies are distilled in multicolumn continuous stills. In many countries that use hybrid pots with or without short columns, common in Europe and the USA craft movement, distillation may utilise both methods and in some instances a single column is used after the pot.
POT DISTILLATION
Shapes and sizes of stills vary between distilleries, but all effect a double or triple distillation.
The ferment sent to the first pot needs rummaging as otherwise the solids may stick to the still’s sides and result in burnt aromas. Rummagers—rotating arms with webbing—are built into the inside of these stills. The heat is turned on, the alcohol vaporises and the resulting low wines (about 20 % abv) are sent to the second pot, where the procedure is repeated. In the final distillation, be it the second or third, the first vapours or foreshots and the last vapours, feints are not potable and are returned to the first still to repeat the process. The heart of the distillate is collected and this new whisky is approximately 70 % abv.
SPIRITS
will generally pick up coastal undertones and on the west coast of both Scotland and Ireland will be affected by the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream. Their respective east coasts are much cooler and the rate of evaporation, and therefore maturation, is slower. In the case of bourbon, whiskies are matured in either brick (cooler) or iron-clad (hotter) warehouses… …known as ricks… …which are generally about nine-storeys high. The vagaries of the climate are such that in summer the top floors are unbearably hot whilst the bottom floors are quite cool and in the winter the top floors are quite warm whilst the bottom are cold. Therefore the barrels on the top storeys are much quicker to mature than those on the bottom. In some countries such as Canada, different whiskies and even ages are blended prior to maturation and it is also not uncommon for a blend to be returned to ageing prior to bottling.
W H I S K E Y, W H I S K Y & B O U R B O N
COLUMN DISTILLATION
Although more brutal with the raw materials the resultant whiskies can be more elegant. Normally utilising more than one column, steam is fed into the bottom of the first column, the analyser, and the wort is fed into the top. When the two meet the alcohol vaporises and together with the uncondensed steam, passes into the second column, the rectifier. The vapours again rise to the top and are condensed and collected on a cool spirit plate. The foreshots and feints are returned to the wash for re-distillation.
AGEING
Before the spirit is transferred to casks an initial reduction with demineralised water may be made to reduce the leaching of character from the oak. In the USA straight whiskies (except corn) require ageing in new casks, this fortunately means that a great number of used casks are available for other spirit producers, and therefore much of the rest of the world’s whisky matures in second-use wood. Whisky can also be transferred to other cask for finishing; this imparts flavours from the new cask, such as sherry, wine or another spirit. The location of the ageing warehouse is a major factor. Whiskies matured by the sea
Some distilleries talk of moving barrels around in order to try and mature each barrel in a consistent manner but this is generally admitted to be too labour intensive. Most, blend barrels from each part of the warehouse or from different warehouses together for the purposes of consistency and a well-balanced, complex spirit. This blending is quite an art, as each distinct microclimate will bring the whiskey a different profile.
BLENDING
It has been said that if the distiller is a chemist, then the blender is the artist, however this miss-states the importance of both jobs. What the blender does do is skilfully marry the component bulk whiskies to ensure that the required flavour profile is available for bottling. This could involve blending one or more types and ages of spirit produced in a single distillery (very typical of production in Canada, America and Ireland) or blending the whiskies from many distilleries, both malt and grain (more typical of Scotland INN andEXPRESS Japan). - DRINKS PORTFOLIO

SCOTCH - THE REGIONS Scotland, why so special? Scotland itself is not one unbroken piece of land, but consists of a mainland, and the numerous island archipelagos to the north and west of that mainland, accessible by boat. With rolling hills, expansive lakes, miles of coasts and a human population of only 5.2 million, its wondrous, serene beauty is a sight to be enjoyed. The weather is pleasantly cool- which is a great environment for ageing whiskies. It just so happens that Scotland has those elements…though you can indeed produce great whisky in other places such as Japan and North America.
W H I S K E Y, W H I S K Y & B O U R B O N Islands
The Islands are sometimes lumped together with the Highlands, but there’s just enough variation that it deserves a brief mention here. The Islands are fairly diverse geographically, with some on the northern tip of Scotland (Orkney) and some on the central portions (Jura, Skye). Island whiskies tend to be peatier and slightly saltier than their Highland counterparts, but not quite as extreme as their Islay cousins.

Speyside
By far the most important region for whisky production, the region is (imaginatively) named after the river Spey. Home to about 60 distilleries despite the small physical size of the region, it’s the most important region for whisky production by sheer volume
SPEYSIDE
Gentle, Fruity.
HIGHLANDS
Islay Ah, Islay. Some of the most distinctive tastes in Scottish Whisky come from this region, which is rich in peat bogs and sea spray. Despite its small size, it has some of the most famous distilleries in Scotland- a fame brought about by the (non-too-coincidental) peaty character of most of its whiskies. The Islay whiskies are not for everyone. Variously described as “medicinal”, “cough syrup”, “barbecue”, “chao-da”, these drams are something of an acquired taste.
ISLAY LOWLANDS
Highly peated, very smokey, salty aromas
CAMBELTOWN
Cambeltown
Once home to 30 distilleries, the mighty have fallen far indeed. Now home to only two operational distilleries, Campbeltown is lonely these days. The whiskies produced here, Springbank and Glen Scotia, are very similar to Islay malts and have a peaty, briny character.
Lowlands
Salty, Smokey & fruity aswell
Highlands
The largest whisky-producing region of Scotland, if not one with the most distilleries; only about 30-ish in total. The trouble with the region being so large is that there’s a lot of variations in the tastes. The western Highland distilleries have a fair amount of peaty taste to them, and tend to be sweet and dry, while the North Highland whiskies tend to be light, spicy and dry. The rest of the whiskies in the Highlands are generally fruity, but not quite to the same degree as the Speysides. They still have a dry finish
The region of Scotland closest to England, whiskies from the Lowlands are light, dry and fruity. These pecularities come from the triple distillation technique that’s commonly used. With whiskies being distilled thrice before being left to age in casks, most of the fats and other flavourful chemicals are removed from the spirit, leaving mostly alcohol and water. With much of the strong flavours removed, the whiskies are inoffensive and mellow making them well suited for people new to scotch

lcohol production was of paramount importance to America’s first immigrants as it was the only liquid that was safe to drink; water was much more likely to cause illness! The first spirit made in America was rum with molasses being brought to New England from the Caribbean as part of the trade triangle. The large influx of Scottish and Irish whiskey drinkers meant the country’s knowledge of distillation was taken forward and naturally favoured whiskey. However, this unusual mix of Presbyterians and Catholics were not made welcome in the puritanical north-east and they initially settled in Pennsylvania and the Carolinas. These pioneering colonists soon found that whilst barley was ideally suited to British and Irish soils and climates, corn and rye would be much more rewarding crops in their new land. Couple this with a natural disposition for independence and rebellion, and it is not surprising that American whiskey branched off in a totally different direction both in terms of production methods and taste. Once small scale production was established, containers in which the spirit could be sold were required. Barrels made of oak took the whiskey to market and charring the inside of the barrels was believed necessary to prevent contamination. The first recorded guildsman cooper, John Lewis, started work in 1608.

w h i s k e y
The North-East was still drinking rum and so whiskey went west. It soon became apparent that the further away from the market, the more impressive the whiskey and so, legend has it, maturation in charred oak casks evolved. George Washington’s crushing of the Whiskey Rebellion (an antitax demonstration) forced many whiskey distillers inland to Kentucky and its surrounds; a blessing in disguise as nature had given this region everything required for good whiskey-making. Corn flourished, water supplies were abundant, oak forests provided wood to fire the kilns and to make barrels, hot summers with high humidity and cold winters-both ideal conditions for the maturation of this type of whiskey-and finally the rivers that provided a route to market. Bourbon County (named to thank the French for their assistance in the revolutionary war against the British) was established in 1785 and the 1820’s the term Bourbon whiskey was coined. The first recorded commercial distillery belonged to Evan Williams and was founded in 1783.
TEMPERANCE & PROHIBITION No history of American whiskey is complete without the story of Prohibition. The first temperance moves began in the early 1800s and - WHISKEY WHISKEY,, WHISK WHISKYY && BOURBON BOURBON
by 1854 five Eastern states were already dry. The whiskey industry itself grew in leaps and bounds; the first large distilleries were built in the late 1800s, automatic bottle production followed shortly, brand names were registered, exports began to increase and the companies themselves grew into modern corporate entities. Against this background, the crusade against liquor had hardened, and by 1910 half the country was dry. In 1920 the National Prohibition Law was passed and it lasted until December 1933. Known as the Great Illusion, Prohibition denied most Americans access to alcohol, crippled many of the distilling companies and bankrupted almost all the small distillers. Many distilleries never re-opened and their brands were bought up by the few remaining companies. Following the repeal of Prohibition large scale production is now done by only a handful of active multi-national spirit producers. In Kentucky, there are ten large distilleries; in Tennessee only two while Georgia and Indiana have one apiece. Several craft distilleries operate in each state as well. Many make bourbon, corn, rye or Tennessee whiskeys.

merican whiskies are the result of a mash of cereals and water that have been saccharified by enzymes, fermented by yeast, subsequently distilled, aged and bottled. Neither bourbon nor rye may be artificially coloured. BOURBON WHISKEY Must be made from a minimum of 51 % corn, distilled to a maximum of 160˚ proof or 80 % abv and finally aged in new charred oak barrels at no more than 62.5 % abv. It may not be bottled below 40 % abv. TENNESSEE WHISKEY Must be made from a minimum of 51 % of one grain—in practice corn—and be distilled in Tennessee at less than 80 % abv. The resultant whiskey must be filtered through a bed of sugar-maple charcoal (the famous Lincoln County Process) and aged in charred oak barrels for a minimum of two years. The maple charcoal imparts a certain sweetness and smokiness, a point of difference that was legally recognised in 1941 when the term Tennessee whiskey was born.
RYE WHISKEY Must be made from a minimum 51 % rye and matured in new charred oak barrels ; these are rich, powerful whiskies with varying degrees of pungency. WHEAT WHISKEY Must be made from a minimum 51 % wheat ; these whiskies have creamy, layered, textured characteristics. CORN WHISKEY Must be made from a minimum 80 % corn and can be aged in used or uncharred oak barrels. STRAIGHT WHISKEY Any one of the above or a combination of grains ; must be aged for two years in barrel. BLENDED WHISKEY At least 20 % of one or more of the above straight whiskies blended with unaged neutral spirit ; can be aged, blended, coloured and flavoured.
WHAT CA
N BE FOUND
ON THE
LABEL
CEREAL BASE When a particular grain is mentioned on the label it means that the whiskey is made from a minimum of 51 % of that grain. SINGLE BARREL Whiskey from a selected barrel ; the barrel variation in Kentucky is so great, that the blenders are always on the lookout for that special barrel. S M A L L B AT C H Any small selection of barrels chosen by the master blender, quite frequently blended across the floors these whiskies will be the result of barrels specially selected to complement one another’s strengths and to ultimately provide the best quality, most complex and well-balanced whiskey possible. A G E S TAT E M E N T/ V I N TA G E If under 4 years old, the age must be stated, if over 4 years this is the length of time in barrel. The vintage year is the year of distillation. BOTTLED-IN-BOND (BIB) A single distillery product, from a single season of distillation, aged for a minimum of 4 years in a government-supervised warehouse and bottled at 50 % abv. SOUR MASH Made from a ferment that has had a percentage of a previous fermentation added to it ; can boost the fermentation and gives a level of consistency from batch to batch. PROOF The American term for the alcohol measurement. 200˚ proof is 100 % alcohol.

We use traditional production processes and equipment to produce our Cotswolds Single Malt. Locally-grown malted barley is milled and then mashed in our 0.5-tonne mash tun, mixing the milled grain with hot water to produce worts. Yeasts are then added. We run the fermentation for more than 90 hours in order to generate plenty of fruity flavour compounds alongside the alcohol produced.

Two men dominate the early years of Japanese whisky: Masataka Taketsuru and Shinjiro Torii. Taketsuru was famously sent to Scotland in 1918 to learn about whisky-making. He started by studying in Glasgow and getting handson experience in Speyside and Campbeltown before returning to Japan with a head full of facts and a Scottish wife. When he joined forces with Torii in about 1921, Taketsuru’s vision was to build a distillery on the remote northern island of Hokkaido. Taketsuru saw this as the part of the country he thought most mirrored Scotland. However, Torii feared this was too far from the main markets of central Honshu, vetoed the idea and instead built Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto in 1923. Taketsuru swallowed his reservations and worked as Yamazaki’s first distillery manager before leaving in 1934. To which he then struck out on his own to finally realise his dream: the building of the Yoichi distillery on Hokkaido. Eighty years later, the companies founded by Torii and Taketsuru – Suntory and Nikka, respectively – still dominate the Japanese whisky industry. But, unlike the twin monoliths of Scotch whisky, Diageo and Pernod Ricard, they don’t have dozens of distilleries, but only several between them. In 1923, Shinjiro Torii envisioned a whisky filled with the essence of Japanese nature and hand-crafted by artisans through a patient process of enhancing the work of mother nature. He dreamt of creating subtle, refined, yet sophisticated whisky that would suit the delicate palate of the Japanese and enhance their dining experience. Though initially inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, Torii envisioned a Japanese approach by choosing a terrain and climate completely different from those of Scotland. Torii chose the region of Yamazaki, on the outskirts of Kyoto as the birthplace of Japanese whisky.

SHINJIRO (1879-1962) W H I STORII KEY , WHIS
KY & BOURBON
Shinjiro Torii was born in the Meiji Period when Western culture and civilisation suddenly flowed into Japan. Ending his schooling at age thirteen, Torii entered into an apprenticeship at a pharmaceutical wholesaler in Osaka that carried Western liquors. There he engaged in stylish Western pursuits and mastered techniques of mixing, then developed a discriminating palate and nose. He learned methods of mixing and blending through his teenage apprenticeships.
1899-1907
In the year 1899, Shinjiro Torii went independent, renting a modest house where generations of pursuit of a dream all started. Shinjiro Torii founded the Torii Shoten store in Osaka. Akadama Sweet Wine was launched and became a huge success. Intrigued by the results of cultivating and maturing liquor in Japan, Torii dreamed of creating an original Japanese whisky― uniquely made from Japanese nature and by her people.
1918 - 1923
Torii invested his family fortune and pursued his dream of building Japan’s first whisky distillery despite popular protest from company directors. The Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s first whisky distillery, began construction in Yamazaki on the outskirts of Kyoto.
1929 - 1937
Japan’s first whisky, Suntory Shirofuda (white label) launched. This release was poorly received by the market and failed due to its imitation of smoky Scottish whiskies. As Japan’s first master blender, Torii learned that satisfying the delicate Japanese palate is the key to making a successful Japanese whisky. Pride drove him on his continued search for Japanese whisky, and Suntory Kakubin (square bottle) was born. Kakubin then went on to become the heart and soul of Japanese whisky and the country’s No.1 seller.
1955 - 1970
164 164
Suntory cultivated the growth of Japan’s whisky culture by opening Torys bars throughout the country. At Torys bars, Suntory revolutionised the way to drink whisky by introducing “Highball.” Another innovative style of drinking whisky presented by Suntory to this date: “Mizuwari” (the blending of whisky with water). Suntory introduced this pairing with Japanese cuisine.
Building the Chita Distillery
1972
Keizo Saji, Suntory’s second Master Blender, took a momentous step forward in pursuing Shinjiro Torii’s vision for whiskies rich in Japanese nature and craftsmanship. On the misty, calm shores of Chita Peninsula, Keizo built a distillery dedicated to the highest-quality Japanese grain whisky.
Hakushu Distillery

Keizo Saji inherited his father’s quest to push the boundaries of what a Japanese whisky could be. He built the Hakushu Distillery to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Japanese whisky-making and to diversify Suntory’s single malt portfolio.

W H I S KYAMAZAKI E Y , W DISTILLERY HISKY & BOURBON Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, Torii envisioned a Japanese approach by choosing a terrain and climate completely different from those of Scotland to create a unique kind of whisky. The Yamazaki Distillery is thus the birthplace of Japanese whisky. Nestled proudly on the periphery of Kyoto, this region has was previously referred to as “Minaseno”, where one of the purest waters of Japan originates. Yamazaki is also home to Sen no Rikyu, Master of “The Way of Tea.” Yamazaki Distillery is where the Katsura, Uji and Kizu rivers converge, providing a unique misty climate and one of Japan’s softest waters. The diversity of this region’s temperature and humidity creates ideal conditions for cask ageing, known as the signature “Suntory Maturation”. Good whisky requires good water and proper maturation in the right environment. Torii strived for a uniquely Japanese whisky to surpass Scotch whisky, and searched for a genuinely Japanese climate for years. Yamazaki lies in a misty valley between Mt.Tennozan and Mt. Otokoyama where three rivers meet. It has one of Japan’s softest waters and is ideal for whisky maturation. This choice of location has been proven by the quality of whisky produced in the Yamazaki distilleries for many years. Its uniqueness distinguishes Yamazaki Distillery that a single distillery can produce a variety of whiskies, which a very few distilleries in the world can match. It all started with Suntory’s pursuit of crafting world-class whisky to please the delicate Japanese palate. In every process of whisky making fermentation, distillation, ageing, and vatting - the distillery’s craftsmen have been adding innovations while continuing to practise skills passed down by their predecessors.
HAKUSHU DISTILLERY Keizo Saji, the second Master Blender, inherited his father’s quest to push the boundaries of what a Japanese whisky could be. He had searched all over Japan for high-quality water that will become the most delicately aromatic to produce whisky that people would love. After searching with some tenacity to the headstreams of rivers and deep into rugged mountains, he found Hakushu. The Hakushu Distillery is without question one of the highest distilleries in the world, built amidst the deepest forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake in the Japanese Southern Alps. The majestic forest that surrounds the Hakushu Distillery shelters an abundance of plant varieties reflecting the many expressions of Japanese nature. The malt whiskies born here are equally blessed with a very particular microclimate, verdant forests, and water offering a rare softness and purity, only made possible by filtration of rain and snow through thousand-year-old granite rocks. The exceptionally soft mountain water of Hakushu originates as clear-flowing rainwater and melted snow, which passes through Mt. Kaikomagatake of the Japanese Southern Alps and joins the Ojira and Jingu Rivers at the mountain foot. With four distinctive seasons, the clear air and cool, humid climate of Hakushu’s vast forests allow the distillery, one of the few situated at an elevation of 700 meters or more, to produce high-quality whisky through a slow, unhurried process.

THE CHITA DISTILLERY
W H I S K E Y, W H I S K Y & B O U R B O N
In 1972, Keizo Saji—Suntory’s second Master Blender—took a momentous step forward in pursuing Shinjiro Torii’s vision for diverse and genuinely Japanese whiskies blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. On the misty, calm shores of Chita Peninsula, Keizo built a distillery dedicated to creating the highest-quality Japanese grain whisky.
Using mainly corn grain and a continuous multiple column distillation process, the Chita Distillery makes three types of grain whiskies. The heavy-type grain whisky is distilled through two columns, the medium-type through three columns, and the clean-type through four columns. This diversity is rare among grain whisky distillers as most only produce the heavy type. Due to their exceptional smoothness and balance, Chita grain whiskies have traditionally been used as the “dashi” or broth that enhances the harmony in Suntory’s renowned blended whiskies. But through many years of research and innovation, the Chita Distillery’s grain whiskies have achieved an unrivalled sophistication and complexity—culminating in The Chita Single Grain Whisky. In Aichi Prefecture of the centre of Japan, the Chita Peninsula and its surroundings are known for its history of craftsmanship in fermentation. The Chita distillery, the innovative grain whisky distillery of the House of Suntory whisky, rises surrounded by gently-sloping hilly terrain and the serene atmosphere from the sea. Suntory’s Chita distillery creates three types of grain whisky from corn (clean, medium and heavy); as distinct from most distilleries which only produce the heavy type. Ageing in the unique climate and natural conditions of Omi and Hakushu and the use of American White Oak casks further contributes to the incredible range of flavours presented by Chita grain whiskies; only recently enabling the level of complexity and depth demanded by the prodigious standards of the House.
WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY? We ask the Edrington-Beam Suntory UK Whisky Specialist Team what makes Suntory Whiskies so popular? MICHAEL GREEN. The fact that Jim Murray named 2013 Yamazaki Sherry cask the best whisky in the world in 2015 helped massively. (Interest massively peaked) Since founding the company in 1899, the essence of the company has been about artisanal craftsmanship and the pursuit of perfection. Ensures that customers are getting brands that they can enjoy and rely on time after time. DAVID MILES I think as more and more people became more interested in whisky, they started to look beyond the traditional homelands. They then recognised the sheer quality and complexity of Japanese whisky. The drinkability and versatility of the whiskies such as their use in highballs make them very approachable for new drinkers.
JOSEPH ELLIS Flavour-wise they fit between Bourbon, Irish and Scotch and so their flavours appeal to lovers of all those styles. Generally, the whiskies Suntory make aren’t as peaty as some Scotch whiskies, but they’re not as sweet as Bourbon can be. This flavour profile is why I believe they’ve become so popular.

TERRI BROTHERSTON With the accolades put upon Yamazaki by Jim Murray in his 2015 Whisky Bible and whisky writer Dave Broom championing Japanese whisky, people were more willing to try whiskies that they might not have normally drank. When whiskies such as Hakushu 12 and Yamazaki 18 were coming into the UK market, people were just being blown away by the flavour and complexity.
TEDDY JOSEPH Reputation. Dedication and attention to detail and the First to do it in Japan. Trailblazing. Producing whisky for the Japanese palate.

AN UNFASHIONABLE TIPPLE LOVED ONLY BY YOUR GRANNY AT CHRISTMAS
Now after more than a decade of falling sales, Sherry has suddenly become fashionable again WHERE DOES SHERRY COME FROM? Sherry is a wine made in the far south of Spain. To be official Sherry, it must be made in this region, although there are some sherry-type wines that are made in other locations. This is a wine with a long history and a legacy that includes being fortified to withstand voyages at sea.
HOW IS IT MADE? As the soil in the sherry region is chalk/limestone based, this provides the perfect conditions for growing the Palomino grape, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel, the three grapes used for making sherry wine. The thing which makes Sherry so unique is the aging barrel, called a Solera. These are not like normal barrels that are filled and emptied after a certain number of years. Instead, a Solera is filled and left to age. As the barrels age, the oldest ones are partially drained and bottled, with new wine being added to the aged wine and left again to age further. This method is repeated until the barrels are retired. Since the Solera barrels are constantly in use, the wine that comes from them is well aged and full of complex flavours and aromas. While Sherry wine is aging, a layer of yeast called Flor forms on the top and prevents oxidization. This adds a unique tanginess to the wine and keeps out some of the earthier flavors that come from contact with oxygen during the aging. Sherry is fortified with a spirit, usually a neutral Brandy or something similar, to give it a higher alcohol content and more intense flavours.
ISN'T FORTIFIED WINE TOO STRONG? Well, you’re supposed to drink less of it! Sherry’s powerful flavour and slightly higher alcohol content mean that a single serving can be about half of a normal six-ounce glass of wine. Sherry ranges from 15% ABV to over 20%. Many full-bodied red wines like Argentinean Malbec and Napa Valley Cabernet clock in at 15-16% alcohol or more, so you shouldn’t be too worried. This extra strength actually helps Sherry pair well with many foods. 170

local man who sailed with Columbus to the new world. He was in the crow’s nest of the ship when the coast of what we now call the Americas, came into view. Pedro Ximénez Viejo ‘Triana’ is produced with grapes that are initially allowed to dry in the sun on straw mats, concentrating the sweetness of the grape juice. They are then pressed and vinified, before long ageing in soleras of American oak. The resultant wine is has a intense dark treacle colour and a rich and luscious texture.
MOST POPULAR TYPES OF SHERRY Unlike llitigation-happy Champagne, the Sherry Consejo Regulador and Spanish government have not done much over the years to protect the Sherry name around the world, so many cheap imitations are still sold with the name Sherry on the bottle.

These are the lightest styles of Sherry. These age, for as few as two or as many as ten years, under a layer of flor and when bottled are meant to be consumed right away. They are delicious with olives, Marcona almonds, and cured meats. With oysters, Fino and Manzanilla Sherry vie with Champagne as the greatest pairing on earth. Serve Fino and Manzanilla cold for the best results.

FINO & MANZANILLA
top seller we recommend est
AMONTILLADO
2002
When a Fino’s layer of flor fades or the wine is intentionally fortified to a high strength, it begins to oxidize and change character. This is an Amontillado Sherry or, simply put, an aged Fino. These wines have some of the salty bite of a Fino but with a darker color and a nuttier, richer finish on the palate. Amontillado Sherry is also a versatile food wine, sidling comfortably up to prawns, seafood soup, roast chicken, or a cheese plate.
OLOROSSO
Oloroso never develops flor. Instead, all the flavor in these wines comes from the interaction of wine and air. Usually oxidized wine is considered faulty, but when left for five to twenty-five years, the wine in a Sherry solera will develop into a fullbodied, dark and expressive substance that begs to be enjoyed with braised beef, bitter chocolate, and bleu cheese. Oloroso Sherry is aromatic and spicy, and can drink like a finely aged bourbon.
PALO CORTADO
This is a strange, beautiful and less common style of Sherry that occurs in certain circumstances when flor yeast dies unexpectedly and the wine begins to take on oxygen. A Palo Cortado has some salty character, but its body is richer and more intense. Palo Cortado can behave like an Amontillado on the palate but often shows a great balance of richness and delicacy.

P
ort is a sweet, red, fortified wine from Portugal. Port is most commonly enjoyed as a dessert wine because it is rich and sweet.
There are several styles of Port, including red, white, rosé and an aged style called Tawny Port. While much of the Port we see in the supermarket is of average quality, there are fine Ports that are highly treasured for sipping and can cost several hundred pounds. Have a look through the essential information about this fantastic drink!
I
n 1880 Henry Vizetelly, the great nineteenth century authority and writer on wine, wrote, ‘… it has been said that there are as many styles of Port wine as shades of ribbon in a haberdasher’s shop.’ Even in Vizetelly’s day this was probably something of an exaggeration. However, the diversity of different styles offered by Port is certainly one of its greatest attractions. The grapes used to produce Port are grown in the upper Douro Valley in north eastern Portugal, one of the world’s most beautiful wine regions. It was the first wine region to be demarcated and regulated by law, in 1756, making Port the oldest controlled denomination of origin. The upper Douro Valley lies about 100 kilometres inland from the coast and is protected from the influence of the Atlantic winds by a range of mountains called the Marão. Consequently it is cold in Winter and very hot and dry in Summer. Because the region is mountainous, most vineyards are planted on terraces, many supported by ancient dry stone walls. As elsewhere in Portugal, a vineyard estate is known as a ‘Quinta’. The vineyard soil of the Douro Valley is very stony and is made up of a flaky ochre-coloured rock called schist. This soil is rich in nutrients but is free draining, obliging the vine to push its roots deep into the soil and down through fissures in the bedrock in search of water. The hot dry climate and the rocky soil mean that yields are very low - not much more than half a litre per vine in top estates like Quinta da Roêda - and the juice extremely rich and concentrated. The diverse combination of climate, soil and grape requires generations of human skill and dedication that has allowed to express itself as great wine. Like other classic wines its appeal is timeless, as relevant today as it was hundreds of years ago when the first Ports were made.
T
here are Ports for all occasions and budgets, from rare Vintage Ports for the fine wine collector to delicious and affordable wood aged styles for relaxed entertaining. Port, with its wealth of different characters and aromas, offers almost limitless opportunities for pairing with food and few wines can compete with it in richness of flavour. Thirty or so grape varieties may be used to make port, but nowadays only five or six of the best varieties are used in new plantings. Most of these are native to the Douro Valley and are specific to Port. They include the dense and concentrated Touriga Nacional, the full bodied and aromatic Touriga Francesa, the firm and finely-constituted Tinta Roriz and the rich and fragrant Tinta Barroca. The grapes are picked by hand and the harvest generally begins in the second half of September, although it may start earlier in the hotter eastern areas.
Although they may be planted separately, the varieties are normally harvested and fermented together. Each grape variety contributes its own particular character – such as the intense flavours of woodland fruit, delicate floral scents, exotic spicy notes or the wild resiny aromas of gumcistus – to the nose of the wine. The grape varieties work together like instruments in an orchestra to create a subtle, complex and multi-dimensional harmony. 174
T
he different styles of Port derive essentially from the various ways in which it can be aged. Its remarkable ageing potential and the fact that it is fortified mean that Port will continue to improve in cask, vat or bottle for much longer than most other wines. The choice of ageing period and ageing vessel will determine what the Port tastes like. As Port matures, the firm tannins and intense fruity flavours of youth gradually give way to the velvety smoothness and mellow, nuanced character which develop with age. At the same time there is a change in the wine’s appearance, its initial deep red colour slowly becoming paler and evolving into the subtle amber hue known as ‘tawny’.
If left for long enough, all Ports will eventually make this change. However, the speed at which this occurs will depend on what the Port is aged in. A Port wine which is aged in wood is in contact with the air and will evolve more rapidly than one which ages in bottle and has almost no air contact. In a small cask, where air contact is greatest, the wine will age faster than in a large vat where it is more limited. Ports can be broken down into two broad ‘families’: aged in Wood ports (sometimes known simply as ‘wood Ports’) which age in cask or vat, normally made of oak, and bottle aged Ports which, as the name indicates, spend most of their lives maturing in bottle.
AGED PORTS
A GBOTTLE ED in
in more detail
BOTTLE
Full bodied, fruity red Ports which age for a relatively short time in large oak vats. These include Ruby Ports, usually aged in vat for two or three years, Reserve Ports which are generally of higher quality and age for slightly longer and Late Bottled Vintage Ports which remain in vat for between four and six years. Although offering different degrees of complexity and sophistication, these wine share a deep red youthful colour and intense fruity flavours reminiscent of cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant.

Vintage Port represents the very best produce of a single outstanding year. It remains in vat for only about two years and then ages in bottle. Although Vintage Ports can be enjoyed when young, they will improve for many decades in the cellar and are among the most long-lasting of all wines. Taylor’s Vintage Ports in particular are noted for their longevity. Vintage Ports are the most structured and powerful of all Ports.
Crusted Ports are not made from wines of a single year but, like Vintage Ports, are capable of maturing in bottle. Also like Vintage Ports, they are not filtered before bottling and will form a ‘crust’ (natural sediment) in the bottle as they age.
Rich and mellow tawny ports which age for longer periods in oak casks. These include the sumptuous 10, 20, 30 and 40 year old tawny Ports whose delicious nuttiness and aromas of butterscotch and fine oak wood intensify the longer they spend in wood. Taylor’s has one of the largest reserves of aged tawny port, maturing in its lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, and offers the full range of ages.
White Ports, made from classic white Port grapes, which are usually aged for two or three years in large vats and are available in sweeter or drier styles. Taylor’s Chip Dry, the first dry white Port first launched in 1934, is one of the best known white Ports. The bottled aged family of Ports is made up mainly of Vintage Port although it also includes a small category called Crusted Port.
P&T?
The notion of P&T is by no means a stranger to the world and the people of Porto, have been drinking this for decades, especially the younger generations. Containing a similar level of sweetness to our beloved gin, white port provides the perfect taste and texture to create a sun-soothing tipple that will keep you refreshed - perfect for all weather

If you like G&T’s then you really should give this a go, the other bonus being that you can save a little money in the process, as trend alert white port is typically a lot cheaper than gin. It’s also crucial that you get yourself a decent tonic. top tip for 2019 est

BD C
WHY IS EVERYONE
TA L K I N G A B O U T I T ?
C
annabidiol (or CBD) is an extract of the Cannabis Sativa plant, and one of the many compounds of the plant. The first thing you should know is that CBD is not psychoactive – it does not get you high. The primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC and CBD are two of the many compounds known as Cannabinoids, all produced by the cannabis plant. So far CBD looks like the most interesting compound in the Cannabinoid group from a health 202
perspective. It is touted to help relax (without being psychoactive), has antiinflammatory, anti-pain and antipsychotic properties as well as being used by many as a preventative measure for serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Whilst there is still much research to be carried out into this complex plant, one thing is for sure, the cannabis train has come into the station and it’s set to have a BIG impact. WHERE CAN I GET MY CBD AND HOW DO I CHOOSE?
There are a couple of factors to consider when choosing your CBD; Quality and Quantity. Firstly, whether the product is an Isolate or Full-Spectrum. A CBD isolate is exactly what it sounds like; pure, isolated CBD compound, all by itself. At Botanic Lab, we use full-spectrum - which
New
for 2019
is the whole plant extract, which includes other cannabinoids, vitamins, minerals, terpenes, and healthy Omega fatty acids - making it more beneficial for the drinker. The amount of CBD in a product varies, and most suppliers recommend a daily dose of 2-5mg. Each CBD Botanical Tea drink contains 5mg of Hemp CBD extract, an amount ideal for general health maintenance. WHO USES CBD? There are many types of consumers using CBD for various reasons. Using CBD to treat epilepsy and cancer is prominently discussed in the British media, but we have found some fascinating scientific papers that explore how CBD could be used to treat anxiety-related conditions, inflammatory pain, acne, neurological
symptoms and disorders. Even some holistic vets are recommending that you give your dogs CBD oil in their diet. Celebrities and public figures have been in on the action for a while now. Friends star Jennifer Aniston has endorsed the use of CBD, taking it to relieve pain and anxiety. Olivia Wilde uses it in a body lotion to relax her muscles, Michael J Fox of the Back to the Future trilogy regularly uses CBD to help relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Victoria Secret Model, Alessandra Ambrosio uses CBD oil, pre-show to reduce anxiety. WHY DRINK IT? Consumers are increasingly bypassing alcohol in favour of soft drink ‘options’, but those options are limited, boring and frankly a little
flaccid. This is the change we have all been waiting for. We have incorporated one of the most talked about and culturally significant plant ingredients of the last 100 years into our brand new CBD Botanical Tea Drink. Who doesn’t crave an evening G&T for its ability to wipe away the day’s stress? Who doesn’t reach for a quick glass of wine before a date to calm the nerves and jitters? CBD is renowned for its ability to reduce anxiety along with a myriad of other benefits making it the perfect drinking partner, without any of the negative impacts of alcohol. In short, we’ve taken the healthy part of cannabis and put it in a drink. Botanic Lab is available to buy through Inn Express. Please call 01789 488008 for more information

oin us as we get to know a little more about Alexia Benson, the Managing Director of Bensons the Juicers, on their beautiful National Trust farm in the heart of the Cotswolds. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where did it all begin? I’ve always been passionate about British food and especially interested in healthy living and making the most of what nature provides. After graduating from University, I started my own catering business with a grant from the Princes Trust. During the time when Farmers Markets were sprouting up everywhere my partner and I also started juicing apples. From the first drop of freshly pressed apple juice, we were hooked! We soon realised that there was a need for better quality British juices and so the story of Bensons the Juicers began. What is your role at Bensons the Juicers? I’m the Managing Director which means I have to stay on top of every aspect of the business, from production to sales, new product development and everything inbetween! I really enjoy the NPD side of the business and love watching an idea transform into a real life, successful product. And most importantly ensuring that everything we produce stays true to our mission and vision as a business, to produce delicious products from nature’s larder, with nothing added.

Joosed Fruity Water provides children with a ‘no fizz, no fuss’ alternative to fizzy drinks. Just fruit juice mixed with British Spring water, they are also 1 of their 5-a-day, with no added sugar, colourings or flavourings.
Lemon, Lime & Ginger A classic citrus reviver, with nettle and oldschool dandelion. Stay booze-free with a squeeze of lemon and a stir of rosemary, or warm things up with a dash of bourbon. Then sit, sip and smile.
Superfly Crafted with awardwinning mixologist Ryan Chetiawardana (aka Mr Lyan), the new flavour combines the zestiness of grapefruit with the sweeter berry flavours of redcurrant and the cherry tea taste of cascara.
Pomegranate & Elderflower
Peach & Green Tea
A lush pomegranate livener, with a kick of kola nut. Serve with ice, limes and pomegranate seeds for the perfect mocktail, or stir in a shot of vodka for a swish sundowner. Chin-chin, chaps.
A perfect peachy pick-me-up, positively enlivened with green tea and kola nut. Pour over crushed ice and a slice of fresh peach for a virgin cocktail, or make it sing with a drop of gin. Either way it’s eye-opening stuff.
Our revitalising botanical drinks are expertly crafted from still water, fruit juice and active botanicals for the perfect blend of flavour and refreshment. At Firefly, we never add anything nasty, but we sometimes add something naughty – all our drinks are delicious mixed with a splash of spirit. Simply sit, sip and smile!

Kolibri Drinks The world’s first bespoke drinks with sweetness tailored to your taste.
The concept of customisable drinks is a game-changer for consumers who want healthy, great tasting and indulgent options but also new experiences, engaging ritual and theatre. Co-creation of drinks and focus on personalisation are prevalent in many categories such as coffee or cocktails but packaged soft drinks have never explored this territory. Kolibri was created to ensure that guests can enjoy crafting their own bespoke drinks to match their individual and unique needs. Mass-produced and standardised approach to food and drinks must change because guests expect their unique preferences recognised and catered to, especially in the hospitality sector. You can’t control everything in your life, but you can control what you put in your body.

DOUBLE VISION SOFT DRINKS & SNACKS
Double Dutch is a range of premium, low calorie soft drinks created by Dutch twins, Raissa and Joyce De Haas. Combining unusual flavours, their drinks have been specifically designed to enhance the taste of higher-quality spirits, while offering a playful alternative to less exciting mixers. Joyce and Raissa have always experimented with mixers and created their own syrups to liven up other less exciting drinks. After being raised in the Netherlands, the birth place of gin, it’s only expected that they have a natural affinity with superlative drinks and excellent blending’s. Throughout their childhood they were exposed to regular high-quality tastings, as their family home had an alcohol license where their parents would import a variety of spirits to be enjoyed by friends and family. When they attended the University of Antwerp studying finance, they would regularly throw parties and always encouraged friends to bring spirits for which Raissa and Joyce would create their own mixers with ingredients they could easily source. They quickly learned that they wanted to follow their passion for high-quality, fun mixers so in 2014 Joyce and Raissa moved to the UK to study at UCL. They devoted their year, and their dissertation, to exploring and understanding the mixer market.
Double Dutch are now available in 23 countries including the US and Singapore and they are now selling just under 1 million bottles per month world-wide. As well as their global expansion, they have recently launched in 208 Waitrose stores around the UK with three of their award-winning flavours including Cucumber & Watermelon, Pomegranate & Basil and Indian Tonic.
Indian Tonic Water - A very delicate tonic water with a hint of juniper berry and grapefruit Double Dutch Indian tonic is made with Juniper and pink grapefruit as the main flavours, which lengthens the finish of their tonic and reduces the intense bitter after-taste to which many people object. Skinny Tonic – Just like their Indian tonic water, Double Dutch Skinny tonic was developed to rounds out the flavour of spirits.
Cucumber & Watermelon - Slightly sweet aroma with a refreshing and crisp taste profile. While cucumber has a traditional affinity for gin and lighter summer fizzes, the additional natural sugar and depth from the watermelon allows Double Dutch’s Cucumber & Watermelon mixer to support any London dry or citric gins. Pomegranate & Basil - Herbaceous aroma with a peppery finish. The De Haas twins became frustrated by the fact that while the global market led to better quality and more choice in spirits, the mixers designed to accompany the spirits remained bland and unexciting. After graduating with an MSc in Technology Entrepreneurship and receiving the 2015 Foodpreneur Winner as Britain’s most innovative F&B retail brand, they went through the meticulous and technological process of flavour development to create their debut mixers Pomegranate & Basil and Cucumber & Watermelon, both of which received rave reviews when they launched in 2015. 236 INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
Double Lemon - Double Lemon, like all of Double Dutch’s flavours, stays in the theme of everything double, that is double as delicious and double refreshing. Double Dutch’ vision is that lemonade should never be boring which is why the new Double Dutch lemonade is a blend of lemon with a whisper of lime.
A complex flavour profile that straddles sweet and tart but also offers a tannin note to provide body and structure – Basil’s acidic and peppery flavour offers a superb counterbalance to pomegranate, delivering a herbaceous, exotic mid-taste that supports any botanical or fruit-flavoured gin. Cranberry & Ginger – The astringency of quinine and the balanced sweet’n’sour of cranberry, are both warmly followed by ginger’s complex spiciness resulting is a light summery aroma with a lovely warm finish. - SOFT DRINKS & SNACKS
With pink grapefruit bringing piquancy to the first taste and juniper berry balancing quinine’s crispness, there’s nothing skinny about this slimline mixer. Ginger Beer – Ginger is a natural ingredient in many mixers, but no other ginger beer offers the spiciness and depth of flavour that Double Dutch provides. Using three different gingers and a hint of lime, Double Dutch Ginger Beer offers a fresh and juicy flourish to the mix. Ginger Ale - What makes the Double Dutch Ginger Ale so special? It’s the unique blend of natural ginger with a touch of cardamon that brings a resinous depth to this delicious soft drink, creating a rewarding flavour that satisfies the palate. Double Dutch mixers have revolutionized the enjoyment of spirits. With complex flavours that augment spirits, satisfying aromas than enhance each drink and superlative quality and smoothness to delight the palate, Double Dutch is much more than double the taste sensation, it is a way of discovering a whole new world of mixed drinks.

Raised in the Netherlands, Double Dutch’s twin founders, Joyce and Raissa, have a natural affinity with superlative drinks and excellent blendings. After all, they come from the birthplace of gin! But their love affair turned to frustration. While the world’s choice of spirits has continued to grow, mixers and sodas have remained bland ... less of a twin, more of a shadow.
Double Dutch is the result of this love affair - uniting great spirits with complementary mixers that enliven and enhance.

CASK ALE
AVAILABLE ALL YEAR
IS CASK ALE BIG AGAIN? Cask Ale is facing a challenge with quality at the moment in some pubs. According to the recent independent report 1 in every 10 cask ale purchases leaves the customer disapointed. So it’s safe to say that the Consumers are becoming increasingly disenchanted with Ales on the bar.
to take into account to come up with a range that delivers a quality pint every time and appeals to as many people as possible to maximise sales.
But what needs to be done? To engage with new drinkers use at least one recognised, consistent and trusted brand. From a style point of view Amber, Gold then Dark remains the recommended style ranging. However, analysis of regional preferences and rates of sale shows that a second Amber Ale will deliver higher throughputs on the third handpull, moving Dark to the fourth handpull where volumes allow.
THROUGHPUT IS PA R A M O U N T
QUALITY IS KEY
Alongside knowing your venues’ throuput, we consider this to be the most important factor when looking to succeed in selling cask ale. According to a recent survey, 40% of drinkers will avoid the pub where they experienced an off Ale, whilst 37% would tell others about it. This equates to a heavy share of drinkers both not returning and telling others not to visit a site where poor Cask Ale is served.
CASK RANGING FOR QUALITY
Ranging Cask Ale can be complicated and confusing, but it is so important as the Cask drinker has a strong influence on the choice of outlet for mixed groups of drinkers. There are multiple factors

Unsurprisingly, Golden Ales pick up in the spring time, +13.4% vs. average throughout the year – this is Golden Ales’ strongest season. Amber Ales also pick up at this time of year, however the summer months are less kind, -7.6% vs. the average. Dark Ale’s ROS is driven almost solely by performance improvements in the winter, up +33.% vs. the average. The Amber Ale category is the most consistent and should be ranged all year round. Golden Ales require more space in the spring and summer months, whilst range Dark in the autumn and winter.

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE
If you haven’t sold cask ale before, or you are trying to attract cask ale drinkers back to your business it can be quite daunting. Don’t worry though we offer support to all our cask ale customers. Ranging from CAMRA accredited venues to new adopters. To help guide you through have a read through our essential guide and we are sure you will find the confidence to join (or rejoin) the cask revolution
So what’s different about cask ale as opposed to lagers, stouts & smooth bitters? • It is unpasteurised • It is a living product • Once on sale it has a shorter shelf life than most other beers (cask ale should aim to be sold within 2-3 days) • It needs ‘conditioning’ in the cellar Theoretically you become ‘the brewer’ when cask ale is delivered as it is not ready to serve straight away. It needs to be taken through what is called ‘secondary fermentation or conditioning’ in the cellar so you have to be prepared to work a little bit harder to get this beer in perfect condition. So let’s start with what you need to serve the best quality cask ale to your customers with the minimum amount of wastage
• • • • • • •
A sturdy, steady surface - a full firkin weighs about 50kg A pair of pliers or grips A sterile tap - in closed position Sterile Wooden Pegs - Hard & soft spiles Chocks A friend - to help lift the firkin if you’re not feeling strong A rubber or wooden mallet - if you don’t have either, a hammer and block of wood will do • Patience - time is your friend.

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE
Follow our step by step guide below. Be sure to check out the Top 10 tips for keeping cask ale. These guides will ensure you are ready to go!
1 2 3 4 5 6
Place the firkin on the floor so the keystone is facing upwards. With the tap closed, position the tapered end of the tap over the centre of the rubber keystone and strike firmly with a mallet to ensure the tap is wedged firmly into place. Try to do this with one confident whack!! Don’t have a mallet? Then this is where we would suggest a hammer with a piece of wood in between it and the tap to prevent damage
KEYSTONE
SHIVE
Place the firkin LEVEL on the floor with the shive upwards. (Ideally this step is done where you plan on storing the beer) Take the SOFT PEG and position the narrow end against the central plastic part (tut) of the shive. Being careful not to hit your fingers, strike the spile with a mallet. The spile should force the plastic tut into the beer and will wedge into the shive. A small amount of beer may seep out through the end grain of the spile. This is perfectly normal. REMEMBER soft pegs allow the beer to ‘breathe’. This is an essential step so keep an eye on them so they don’t get blocked. Replace with a clean peg if this happens. This step should take around 24 -48 hours
Getting ready to serve! If your beer is ‘bright’ then you should be ready to go but just to be sure partially open the tap and pour a 1/2 pint to release any excess pressure in the cask. If your beer is Rough, check you are happy with its clarity and then insert a HARD PEG until you are ready to serve. A hard peg means that no gas is allowed in or out of the cask. REMEMBER Once the beer is settled do not move it. Beer does not resettle well and you will likely mix air in and ruin it
Sample before serving. Always sample from the cask (Quality control has it’s perks!) therefore not drawing too much beer into the lines thus causing waste. When you’re happy and readt to serve the beer, simply remove the spile with a set of pliers and start pouring. If there is any beer left in the firkin at the end of the ‘session’ replace the spile
Chill out! The beer is best stored and served at 10-12 ̊C. To keep it at this temperature, store in a cool garage or outhouse. Placing a cold wet towel on the cask will aid in keeping it cool in hot weather.

7. SERVING
Once on sale, the beer is exposed to air which causes rapid deterioration. So empty casks as soon as possible, ideally within 3 days. Why? Air drawn into the cask causes oxidation, which spoils the beer. If the cask is not emptied within 3 days, the customer will notice the beer is spoiled.
6. SAMPLING
Sample beers for clarity, aroma and taste after tapping and each day before serving. Always sample from the cask before connecting the beer lines. Why? Pulling through to the bar wastes beer and if the beer isn’t ready, the customer notices.
Gently tilt the cask when its between 1/2 and 2/3 full, either by raising the back or lowering the front, whichever is easiest. About 3 inches either way should be sufficient. Why? Tilting the cask too far or too quickly could disturb the sediment, risking hazy beer.
8. TILTING (STOOPING)
10. DON’T COMPROMISE Follow our tips and you’ll get a perfect pint of cask ale. Why? Our tips are based on years of brewers and licensees experience on consistently serving the best pint. To keep on serving your customers great beer use our 10 step process.
9. CLEANING
Tap all casks 24-48 hours before they go on sale. Always use a clean tap. Why? This eliminates the opportunity for micro-organisms to spoil the beer.
5. TAPPING
Clean beer lines and equipment every 5 days, using the equipment and methods recommended by your Inn express account Manager or contact the brand owner/brewery direct for their recommendations Why? One of the most important factors in consistently high quality cask beer is the cleanliness of the dispense equipment. As well as harming the taste and clarity of the beer, dirty systems can cause malfunctioning and uncontrollable fobbing.
All casks should be vented with a soft peg 2-6 hours after delivery. Check the cask frequently and change the peg if it becomes blocked. wwWhen strong fermentation has finished, insert a hard, nonporous peg. Remove that peg before serving and replace it when you’re closed. Why? Pegging and venting will bring the beer to its ideal condition for the customer. It also helps with the clarification process and, once the beer is on sale, it will help maintain the right amount of carbon dioxide in the beer.
All casks should be firmly chocked on delivery and stillaged level for at least 3 days before sale. If some casks have to be stillaged later, roll them before stillaging. Cask conditioned beers will normally drop bright within 48-72 hours. Why? Level stillaging creates a gas pocket directly beneath the shive, and encourages good venting when soft, porous pegs are inserted. As the sediment drops, it falls safely into the belly of the cask, away from the tapping point. If the cask is stillaged on a forward tilt, the gas pocket will be at the back of the cask, so beer and not carbon dioxide gas will be pushed through the soft porous tap. And the sediment will collect directly behind the tapping point, so there will be several pints of soft, cloudy liquid to be extracted before you get to the beer.
Cask conditioned beer must be stored in a temperature controlled cellar at between 11°C and 13°C (52-55°F), ideally at 12°C (54°F). Why? Beer needs to be at the right temperature to condition correctly. Too warm and it becomes over-conditioned, too cold and it lacks condition which may even cause a chill haze.
Ordering the correct size of cask and aim to sell it within 3 days. Why? If the cask is left for more than three days, the beer will start to taste dull and tired, so people will buy less of it and you’ll make less from it. You’ll also get a reputation for selling tired beer, which no one wants.

Exciting times ahead for Bath Ales Bath Ales, which opened the doors to its new multi-million-pound brewery one year ago, has a new Head Brewer – Georgina Young.
G
eorgina, who was previously Head Brewer at London’s Fuller, Smith & Turner, is overseeing all aspects of the brewing and packaging of Bath Ales’ brands. She is based at Hare Brewery, Bath Ales new state of the art brewhouse and taproom in Warmley - on the outskirts of Bristol. Having grown up in Bristol, Georgina started her brewing career at Smiles Brewery working alongside Richard Dempster - one of the founders of Bath Ales. She then went on to run the pilot brewery at the Brewing Research Institute before joining Fuller’s as a Production Brewer in 1999, where she served in roles across all aspects of production. She ascended to the role of Head Brewer in 2017 - the first female at Fuller’s to take on the role. She holds a Masters degree in Brewing & Distilling and is a Master Brewer of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling. First founded in 1995, Bath Ales’
272
new chapter began in July 2016, when it was acquired by independent, family-owned St Austell Brewery. Bath Ales went on to open Hare Brewery last May. It has doubled the brewer’s capacity meaning it can now produce over 14.5 million pints of beer every year including old favourites from the core range like Gem and new brews too. New beers in Bath Ales’ range include Sulis, Bath Ales’ first lager, and Lansdown West Coast IPA, which was awarded a silver medal at the prestigious International Brewing Awards in May. Georgina Young, new Head Brewer says: “I’m delighted to be heading back to my home town of Bristol – it’s where my parents and sister still live and it’s something I’ve been mulling over for some time. So when a great brewer offered me such a fantastic opportunity, I just couldn’t say no. The role at Bath Ales will allow me to take total control of the operation – including brewing and packaging – which gives me a
new challenge. It’s sad to be leaving Fuller’s after all these years – but I’ve left a first-class brewing team at Chiswick and I know they will flourish in the future.” Roger Ryman, Brewing Director, St Austell Family Group says: “George and I have known each other for many years, both as brewers and friends. I’m therefore hugely excited that she’ll be leading our brewing and production team in Bath. I look forward to working and brewing alongside her in the years to come.” Bath Ales’ flagship beer, Gem (4.1% abv) is now available to order from Inn Express. This well-balanced and full-bodied amber ale sees the malty character from the Maris Otter barley really shine through. It’s brewed with British hops, including Goldings from Kent, that add a subtle, aromatic spice.

The brewery was closed in 1989 until it was re-established in 2010, since when we have been working hard to return Truman’s back to its former glory, now brewing an eclectic mix of modern craft beers and traditional ales. Illustration of the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, founded in 1666

Tribute turns 20 Roger Ryman started his role of Head Brewer at St Austell Brewery on 6th April 1999. A few weeks later (27th April) he first trialled a short-term seasonal beer with a view to releasing it in celebration of the total eclipse. he brew was named Daylight Robbery and proved to be so popular it became the Brewery’s best-selling beer of the year. Due to its phenomenal success, Daylight Robbery was relaunched as a permanent beer in 2001 under its new name, Tribute, and went on to become St Austell Brewery’s first truly national beer and flagship brand. In celebration of Tribute’s 20th birthday, we spoke to Roger about what makes the beer so special. WHAT WAS THE INITIAL INSPIRATION BEHIND DAYLIGHT ROBBERY? I was asked to create a limitededition beer that we could launch in celebration of the solar eclipse. As the first beer I was asked to brew in my new Head Brewer role, I wanted to create something different and to break the mould of anything that had been done previously. 278
WHY WAS THE BEER RENAMED TRIBUTE? We first brewed Daylight Robbery in 1999, and we very quickly realised that we had a made a light, zesty and sessionable brew which really resonated with our beer drinkers. It was so popular that we knew it had to be one of our permanent brands. Daylight Robbery wasn’t suitable as a long-term name so when we relaunched it in 2001, ‘Tribute’ was born. It was renamed in honour of all of those who had helped our family business grow to its landmark 150th anniversary. CAN YOU DESCRIBE TRIBUTE IN ONE SENTENCE? A quality brew that’s consistent, superior and refined. WHAT DO YOU FEEL HAS BEEN TRIBUTE’S BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT SINCE APRIL 1999? Tribute has driven growth and creativity at St Austell Brewery over the course of the past two decades
and has gone on to become the backbone of our business. WHAT’S THE SECRET BEHIND TRIBUTE’S QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY? Great beer is grown in in the field, not brewed in the brewery, so ultimately you need great ingredients. We use the finest quality Maris Otter barley – sourced right here in Cornwall – and the very best hops from the UK and around the world. WHY DO YOU THINK TRIBUTE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME? I feel that Tribute was ahead of time when it was first brewed, and it’s remained relevant and contemporary in today’s market place. The growth of Tribute has been a unique and amazing success story and a journey that it’s been my privilege to be a part of!

ometimes it feels a little bit like déjà vu – Cask beer market is in decline, keg beer is becoming more popular... But no, it isn’t the 1970’s and the keg beer that has emerged is far from being just a sweet, tasteless and fizzy mass-produced by-product of beer, as it was when CAMRA was established to fight the death of British Beer. So why do brewers choose keg? Traditionally, real ale (or cask ale) has always been the ultimate form of crafted ale in Britain that is unpasteurised, unfiltered and has just light carbonation that allows all the flavours to come through on the palate.

served in keg form, has increased the choice and variety for consumers as the British beer revolution continues to spread. It allows the new generation of brewers to experiment with styles from Europe and America that have more robust hop varieties, new yeast strains and different techniques, such as barrel aging. However, as any new emergence in the market, it has had different reactions from pubs and bars. One of the biggest misconceptions is, that keg is an easier option than cask and doesn’t require care. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as a lot of the brewers choose not to pasteurise or filter their beers even when using keg containers, the appropriate care and attention needs to be paid to reduce waste, increase yield and avoid disappointed customers.
The new emerged wave of keg beer in the last 10 years or so has overcome the reputation of a mass-produced product that compromises on flavour. Techniques that have been tested and approved by the on-trade, such as correct cooling, service and a recognition that some beer styles benefit from being

Did you know? CRAFT BEER DEMANDS A PREMIUM
A
ccording to the 2019 SIBA report, consumers are willing to pay more to drink true craft beer. This is the most compelling argument for retailers putting a good range of craft beers on their bar. The Mintel Global New Products Database (GNPD) from September 2018 found that 45% of consumers were willing to pay more for craft and agreed that ‘craft is worth the extra money’. As millennials are drinking less alcohol than previous generations, it is important for retailers to premiumise their drinks offer and maximise spend, so the craft category is key to this.

Beer & food CRAFT BEER
the perfect match q UK CRAFT KEG

Pairing beer with food The new range of flavours and styles you’ll find in the craft beer market make dining out with a beer one of the real joys in life. When pairing beers with food, there are no hard and fast rules. You can always match your favourite brew with whatever you’re eating. But as a general guide, just think wine. So, where you would serve a crisp white wine, serve refreshing light lager. For foods that go best with full-bodied reds, try amber or dark beers to balance their more robust flavours. 294 INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
- CRAFT BEER - UK CRAFT KEG
CRAFT BEER UK CRAFT KEG
THE THREE CS
Use the three Cs rules to help match your favourite craft beers with your current menu options
Cleanse
Cut
Complement
The gentle fermentation on a craft beer can help cleanse the palate. So, a light ale with a few bubbles can be a great way to refresh between courses and help the flavours of food burst in the mouth.
The sharp hoppy flavours you find in bitters and golden ales can cut through rich, creamy or spicy foods. Try a pint of traditional English bitter with a strong cheese or spicy curry.
Flavours that fuse together can enhance the taste of both the beer and the food. So a zesty pale ale with strong citrus notes goes well with a fruity vegetable dish or lemonscented fish or chicken dish.

We love beer as much as you do, as such our beers are full of flavour and made with passion. Unlike our mass produced counterparts, we brew by hand, the traditional way. We use water from the farm’s well, locally sourced malt and hops and just add time and dedication to create a cracking pint. Church Farm Brewery is a family run craft brewery located on the family farm on the outskirts of Warwick. In November 2012 we sold our herd of dairy cattle and converted the milking equipment into a microbrewery, we’ve never looked back since.

Historically, we’ve never made things easy for ourselves. We started life back in 1994 in the cellar of a pub in Brighton with a brew kit marginally bigger that that used by an enthusiastic home brewer. Our love of American hops has shaped the beers we’ve become known for, started when one of our founders returned from a business trip across the pond with a suitcase full of hops - he did well to get through customs frankly. We’re a bit bigger than that now and use a few more hops, but our free spirited and experimental nature, still very much holds true.

ELECTRIC BEAR BREWING CO B AT H
The name of our brewery comes from the old Bear Brewery that used to stand on the corner of the Wellsway, next to the Bear Inn in the Bear Flat area of Bath. Electric derives from how we power our brewhouse kettle (AKA the ‘copper’ - the vessel used to boil the wort during brewing). That original Bear Brewery is now gone – the victim of a WWII Baedeker bombing raid in April 1942. But we are Electric Bear. Brewing here is back – bigger and better than ever.

FIXED WHEEL BREWERY, THE BREWERY THAT LOVE TO RIDE HARD AND LOVE TO ENJOY A WELL BREWED BEER! Nestled right in the heart of the Black Country, on an industrial estate in Blackheath you’ll find the home of Fixed Wheel Brewery that’s run by a small, but passionate team of brewers. At Fixed Wheel, we brew with the ethos in mind: “love what you do!” The love and passion for our craft can certainly shine through in each beer that we create. Since the brewery’s inception in 2014, every Monday to Friday since, we have been constantly been igniting our brewery kettle to boil away and fill our fermenters with the freshest hop forward and full flavoured craft beers. We can confirm these are especially enjoyable after clocking in a few miles on the saddle!
Blackheath Stout Overall Gold winner of CAMRA’s West Midlands Regional Champion Beer of Britain 2018.
What we brew
Ranging from easy drinking hoppy pale ales to our award winning super dark rich stout, we use and support only the best British malts and hops from all around the world. This is then backed up with our finely tuned house yeast strain. We’re pretty proud of what we brew and by the end of 2018 have a few awardwinning beers under our belt too. Our very own Blackheath Stout was awarded SUPREME CHAMPION Beer of The Year at the CAMRA West Midlands Regional Awards and our No Brakes IPA was awarded a BRONZE in the Strong Bitter category too. We’ve also been mentioned in the RateBeer Best Awards 2018 as West Midlands Top Brewer, what a way to end a year! INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO

Before Lab Culture there was a vertical farm.

However, it was not as green as the plants it was producing.

An independent, family run craft brewery in the heart of Highgate, London. Gorgeous Brewery is nestled away in the heart of leafy Highgate behind The Bull pub. The brewery was founded by brother sister duo, Rob and Sam Laub. Beer runs in their family, their grandmother was born and raised in a south London pub and made sure to pass on her love and appreciation of all things beer. Gorgeous Brewery has a small, tight-knit team who all share a passion for creating an eclectic, deliciously drinkable range, with an emphasis on handcrafted quality. The brewery works with little automation, so a whole lot of care and hard work goes into everything we make.
The brewery is also overlooked by a beer garden so locals can always see what’s going on and taste the latest brews straight from the tanks. What we brew: Everything is available in bottle and all of the beers, are unfined and unfiltered, so they’re vegan, retain a natural haze and even more flavour. The beers take inspiration from traditional ales to very new-world styles and there is always a focus on flavour and drinkability. If a beer needs dry hopping to bring out the desired aromas, we won’t shy away from using the best hops we can find. Likewise, if a beer needs to lager for 4 weeks for the true flavours to develop, we will give it the time in the tank that it really needs. Quality is key.

MAGIC ROCK BREWERY HUDDERSFIELD
Inspired by local brewing traditions and the vibrant US craft beer scene, Magic Rock Brewing is the culmination of a lifelong passion for beer. Richard Burhouse (aided by head brewer Stuart Ross) started the brewery in 2011 in an old out-building of the family business (an importer of crystals and natural gifts) in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Initial reaction to the beers exceeded expectations and a fantastic first six months culminated in the brewery being voted 2nd best new brewery in the world 2012 (and 5 times a top 100 world brewer since) on the independent ratings site RateBeer.com. To meet demand, capacity was increased twice in the first year with additional fermenting vessels added in October 2011 and January 2012.

MAULE BREWING NORTHAMPTON
We’re an exciting Micro Brewery creating no nonsense, truth telling batch-made Craft Beers & Ales in sunny Northampton. Our Brewhouse is self built and took 12 months to build and install. Following a few cleaning brews and painstaking refinements, we brewed our very first Lucky IPA late in 2014. We don’t filter, fine or centrifuge our beer, instead we give it time at the optimum temperature to do this for us. Time and temperature do the job just fine!

But for any draft beer or soft drink system the performance of the keg coupler is vital. The keg coupler connects the gas and beverage lines to the keg and ensures a pressurized flow from the keg.

WHIPLASH B E L FA S T
Whiplash begun as a side project for Alan & Alex back in 2016. Both working in brewing already, they rented tanks at the weekend and released single batch small releases for fun from their own place of work and other friend’s breweries around Ireland. Professional beer dudes who were gypsying for fun. Things escalated and by the end of 2017 Whiplash was its very own pain in the neck with the guys going full time. Now renting space and brewing primarily from Larkin’s Brewing Company in Co. Wicklow, 2018 is very much year zero for Whiplash with lots of stuff to come.

CRAFT BEER UK CRAFT KEG WIPER & TRUE BRISTOL
We fell in love with brewing at home - learning our craft on a kitchen stove with pots, pans and raw ingredients scattered all around us. Having spent our early years on the road, brewing nomadically we were lucky enough to get first-hand experience at some great breweries and more importantly, from some great brewers kind enough to let us use their equipment. We have now settled in the heart of Bristol at our own beautiful brewery. Whilst our apparatus may have become more sophisticated, our thirst for experimentation and enjoyment of our craft remains the driving force behind Wiper and True. We strive to make extraordinary beer, using the finest ingredients possible and avoiding any unnecessary chemicals or processing aids. We do not pasteurize, filter or clear our beers with synthesised chemicals. We hope you enjoy the drinking as much as we did the brewing.

The Wild Beer Co was born in 2012 out of a love of fermentation, barrel-ageing and most importantly, flavour.

WildBeerCo
IN PURSUIT OF FLAVOUR
Unconstrained by stylistic guidelines and led by flavour, we want to give you a truly memorable drinking experience, altering your perceptions of beer and thrilling your taste buds. The wild nature of our beers is seen in the use of alternative fermentations, unorthodox yeasts, seasonally-foraged ingredients and the use of eclectic and exotic produce from far and wide. These sit alongside a core range of modern esoteric beers, where quality and consistency are our buzzwords amongst the flavour and innovation.
INSPIRED BY SOMERSET
Set against the backdrop of the Somerset countryside, we are a true farmhouse brewery sharing our space with Westcombe Dairy, whose cheeses pair naturally well with our beers. Everything we learn in making slow, complex, barrel-aged beers helps us improve our everyday range of easy-drinking modern beers. A thirst to always improve our products and range has led to our Pale Ale, IPA and Stout brands being nationally recognised.
WHAT’S IN THE WOOD?
Barrel-ageing and blending is at the heart of what we do at Wild Beer. We wait patiently for the beers in our library of over 600 barrels to take on the nuances of the wood, where time can reveal complex layers and flavours that deserve to be savoured. 335

OF BEER

There is a staggering amount of chatter about beer and not knowing some of the techy languages can make it a tad confusing. To help, we’ve explained the main terms below, but don’ t be intimidated by the chatter. Beer is very, very simple. All you need is water, yeast, a grain (barley, wheat, rice, etc.) to get your malt from, some hops. Then despite the bewildering array of names given to the final product all of them fall into two styles; Ale or Lager. The main difference between these two is the yeast. Ale yeasts do well in the warm and Lager in the cold. Both are fermented and then taken down to a lower temperature to finish off, with Lager being taken colder and left for longer. As a result, Lager is clean, bright and refreshing (usually served cold) and ale, complex, chewy and darker (often served closer to room temperature). Either way, a beer is only good if you enjoy it – trust your taste buds, that’s enough to understand beer. Here are some common terms:-
A
Adjunct – Anything in a beer that isn’ t hops, water, yeast or from the grain. They are added to the beer to enhance one of the original 4 ingredients i.e. honey or fruit to change the taste, smell or colour. They are very common in mass-produced lager-style beers as it’s an easy way to change the end product. Alcohol – Yay! A by-product of fermentation. It is produced when the yeast consumes the sugars in the chosen grain. ABV (Alcohol by Volume) – The percentage of the total volume of the beer that is pure alcohol Ale – A type of beer made with top-fermenting yeast. Altbier – A style of German beer brewed near Dusseldorf. It’s darker than a stand ard lager and is top-fermented before being cold conditioned i.e. lagered. Altbier literally means Old Beer. Aroma Hops – Hops added at the end of beer production to give it a final hoppy boost.

B
B arrel aged beers – A wood- or barrel-aged beer is any beer that has been aged for a period of time in a wooden barrel or in contact with wood. This beer is aged with the intention of impar ting the unique character of the wood and/or the flavor of what has previously been in the barrel B arley – A grain used to make beer. B arleywine – A style of beer high in alcohol content and quite malty. B arrel – The unit of measurement used by brewers. In Britain, a barrel holds 36 gallons. Bitter – (N) A catch-all phrase for cask and bottled ale, usually referring to Amber or Golden beers. (A) A sharp, tangy sensation that comes from the hops in your beer. Bittering Hops – Hops added before the end of the brewing to make the beer (yes you guessed it) …more bitter! Blending – When you put 2 or more different batches of beer to create a final product. Rarely done in mass production but when a brewer is using the raw ingredients the end product varies because the ingredients vary e.g. a crop of hops may taste different from one month to the next. Bock – A strong lager traditionally from Germany and brewed seasonally. Fullbodied, malty, well-hopped. It used to be a dark beer but more recently they’ve been produced light copper in colour as well. Body – The thickness of a beer in your mouth and usually used to make claims of full, medium, or thin-bodied. Lagers are thin-bodied and Stouts full-bodied. Bottle Conditioning – Beer that has bottled without the yeast being filtered out so sediment is still left in the bottle. This is done so the beer can continue to develop a complex taste while it waits for you to drink it. It usually means a higher abv too. Bottom Fermentation – One of the two basic fermentation methods and used to make lager. So-called because the yeast sinks to the bottom of the brew. Bright beer – Beer that is ready to drink and has had the yeast etc. filtered or dropped out of it Brown ale – Usually a British, top-fermented style of beer which has strong caramel and malt flavours.

CAMRA – The Campaign for Real Ale Caramel malt – sweet, coppery malt which gives colour and flavour as well as a d arker colour to the beer. Carbonation – How fizzy your beer is! It can come from the yeast giving off CO2 as a by-product or by being force-carbonated with CO2 (which is usually done with keg beer.) Cask – A barrel-shaped container for beer. Traditionally wooden but now usually metal and the source of one side of the Keg vs. Cask argument. Cask Conditioned Beer - Beer poured using a traditional hand pump rather than a CO2 tap. Cask Conditioning – A Cask conditioned beer has continued to develop in the cask after it’s left the brewery. As a result, there are still sediments in there that need to settle to the bottom before serving. Settling can be done by either leaving it to rest or using finings. Contract Brewing - Contract Brewing, an arrangement where a brewer brews and packages beer on equipment that they do not own. The term “contract brewing” is closely related to gypsy brewing, although a contract brewer might have a smaller-scale facility in which to brew. Craft beer – An American term that has crossed The Pond – we’d call it a microbrew. This definition is still up for debate but according to the Brewers Association, an American craft brewer is small, independent and traditional. But what does this mean? TRADITIONAL: A brewer who has an all-malt beer or has at least 50% in either all malt beers or beers which use adjuncts to enhance rather than lighten flavour. SMALL: Annual production of fewer than 6 million barrels. INDEPENDENT: Less than 25% of the brewery is owned by another member of the beer business who is not themselves a craft brewer. Crystal malt – A malt that has been dried star ts to crystallize. When this is used it adds sweetness to the beer. Chill Haze – A cloudiness in cold beer that comes from a chemical reaction when the beer drops to a cer tain temperature. It disappears when the beer warms up. It’s a common occurrence and is not unsafe. 346

Chocolate malt – Malted barley that has been roasted to a darker colour. It gives the beer a more toasted and nutty flavour and makes it a bit darker. Closed Fermentation – Fermentation in an air tight vat that stops anything messing with the brew.
D
Double bock/doppelbock – A stronger bock beer, that traditionally uses double the number of hops and malt; it doesn’ t necessarily double the strength. Draught Beer – Beer pulled from a keg or casks rather than from a bottle or can Double IPA - often called DIPAs or “Imperial” IPAs, this originally American style takes the craving for hops and runs with it. These usually use double or even triple (TIPA) the typical amount of hops, but also add more malts to balance. The resulting beer has huge hoppy highs and deep malty depths with an high ABV to match Dry Hopping – The same as Finishing Hops – Adding hops late on in production to increase hoppiness. More commonly seen of late as DDH ‘double dry hopping’ Dry stout – The Irish version of stout, Guinness is the most well-known version. Dunkel –Comes from the colour of the beer and means Dark in German rather than Helle which means pale.
F
Farmhouse Ale - Essentially, farmhouse ale and Saison refer to the same style of brewing that d ates back to the 19th century. Farmhouse ales got their name literally from the fact that they were brewed in farmhouses. At a time when agriculture required vast amounts of manpower, farmers would brew batches of beer in the off-season, ready to serve to workers in the summer months Fermentation – The par t of the brewing process where sugar is conver ted to alcohol. Filtration — The passage of the beer through a filter to get out the final bits of yeast etc. Fining – A substance added to beer (usually cask ale) to make the yeast and other par ticles settle. These materials can be isinglass, gelatine, Irish moss, and others, but Isinglass is the most common and made from fish swim bladders, making not all beer suitable for vegetarians.

Finishing Hops – The same as Dry Hopping- Adding hops late on in production to increase hoppiness. Fresh Hopping – Also called wet hopping is the addition of hops that haven’ t been dried resulting in a different flavour.
G
Gravity - Original gravity (abbreviated OG) is a measure of the fermentable and un-fermentable substances in a beer wor t before fermentation. Those substances are often the sugars that will be conver ted to alcohol during the fermentation process. Grist – The milled grain or grains used in beer making. Gueuze – Pronounced ‘Goze’. A style of Belgian beer that blends old and young lambic ale. Highly carbonated and distinctly tar t and sour. Gypsy Brewing -A gypsy brewer has no facility of his or her own. Instead, the brewer travels to a functioning brewing facility and pays for use of the space to produce their beer.
H
Head Retention – The measure of how long the head on your beer lasts; measured in seconds Hefe – German for yeast. Helle – Comes from the colour of the beer and means Pale in German rather than Dunkel which means d ark. Hops – A vine-like plant. The female flowers are the bit we need! Hops make beer bitter and are closely related to marijuana. Hops are responsible for the bitterness in beer and there are over 100 varieties. It is also a preservative and was the reason India Pale Ale came about as more hops were added to beer sent from Britain to India that needed to survive the long transit time.
I
IBU – The International Bitterness Unit is a measure of how bitter a beer is. IBU = Ounces of Hops x AA% x Utilization% /Gallons x 1.34
Imperial – A beer with Imperial in its name will be stronger than the base style.

IPA – India Pale Ale. A strong, hoppy Pale ale. India Pale Ale came about in the 19th century as a stronger brew and more hops and was added to beer sent from Britain to India that needed to survive the long transit time. Irish Moss – A fining used to clarify beer derived from seaweed Isinglass - A fining used to clarify beer made from fish swim bladders
K
Keg – The other combatant in the keg vs. cask debate. An metal barrel that contains your beer. Keg beer is pasteurized so doesn’ t develop after it leaves the brewery and therefore does not need to settle making it easier to handle. Kölsch- A type of German beer that is top-fermented and cold conditioned, i.e. lagered.
L
Lacing – The pattern foam makes on the surface and the sides of the glass as you drink the beer. Lager – Lager comes from the German lagern meaning to store and is a beer made with bottom-fermenting yeast. Lager is fermented at lower temperatures and therefore takes longer to ferment than ale. Lower temperatures mean a cleaner more crisp beer. Lagering – The process of aging beer at low temperatures and can take many months Lambic – A traditionally Belgian brew that is quite sour unless it is flavoured with fruit. It also uses open fermentation methods that rely on the natural yeasts in the air rather than adding it directly to the brewing process Liquor – Brewer speak for water
M
Malt – Malt is from the original grain used in a beer being watered and allowed to slightly germinate. It’s then dried or roasted and subsequently known as a ‘malted’ grain. Mashing – The process where the grist is added to water to extract the sugar from the malt.

Mead – One of the worlds oldest drinks. created by fermenting honey with water & spices Microbrewery – A small brewery that produces limited quantities of beer and operates under the UK beer duty threshold. Milk Stout - The origin of the milk stout can be traced back to early 20th century England, an outgrowth of the increased popularity of dark ales like a por ter, and later strong (or “stout”) por ters. Milk, “sweet,” or “cream” stouts were generally beers with low amounts of alcohol but high amounts of residual sugar, Residual sugars are those left in a beer after the yeast has completed its fermentation. Because lactose is unfermentable by brewer’s yeast, lactose added to a beer makes the final product sweeter, fuller, and creamier.
P
Pale ale- Essentially the beer that launched the modern brewing revolution. So called because they are brewed with more lightly roasted “pale” malts, pale ales typically have a more equal malt-to-hop balance. The hops are definitely present, but fairly moderate. Pilsner – A beer style traditionally from Germany and the Czech Republic. Typically crisp and refreshing, with a light to medium body and clear gold colour. Primary Fermentation – The initial fermentation where most of the magic happens; done in large vats and lasting for up to 3 weeks. Priming – The addition of small amounts of sugar to beer before bottling to star t another fermentation in the bottle or keg.
R
Real Ale – A phrase developed by CAMRA in the 1970s meaning beer that has been brewed and delivered using their recommended processes; ”Beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide” Reinheitsgebot – ‘rain-haits-gebot’ German Purity Law of 1516 which states that the only ingredients that can be included in beer are water, malted barley, yeast, and hops.
S
Saison – The Saison beer (sometimes called Farmhouse Ale) is a traditional Belgian Ale style, originating from Wallonia, along the border with France. It 350
INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO 2019|20 - THE A-Z OF BEER

was brewed during the winter months when farmhands (“saisoniers”) had less work to do in the field and in preparation for the spring and summer months when the warmer temperatures made brewing impractical. Fermentation usually took place over an extended time before the beer was consumed. SMaSH – This term is an abbreviation of Single Malt Single Hop. A SMaSH brew is a way for any brewer to get a feel (taste) for any base malt and any hop variety. It is also a very economical way to brew as it minimizes the cost of the batch. SMaSH brewing is an excellent way to learn about the flavors various malts and hops impar t on a beer. Scotch Ale – A top-fermented beer that is very strong, very dark with a thick and creamy. Secondary Fermentation – The second and slower stage of fermentation for topfermenting beers, which lasts from a few weeks to many months. It is mainly done in the vessel from which it will eventually be dispensed i.e. casks or bottles. Sediment - The solid stuff that you sometimes get in beer usually a good indicator of it being a beer that has gone through secondary fermentation i.e. a bottle-conditioned beer. Session Beer – A lighter beer that is lower on the abv scale at 3-4%, so-called because you could drink a few in a single session. Sour Beer – A type of beer that is extremely sour to taste and usually a Lambic, Gueuze or Flanders Red ale; the oldest brand being Rodenbach Steam Beer – First originated in California when German immigrants found a way to make bottom-fermented yeast work at top-fermenting yeast temperatures. Anchor Brewing Company is the original Steam beer and therefore holds the rights to the name; however, it’s pretty much used as a collective term for other producers who also use the name Californian Common Stout – A top-fermented beer. The name por ter was first used in 1721 to describe a d ark brown beer that had been made with roasted malts. Because of the huge popularity of por ters, brewers made them in a variety of strengths. The stronger beers, typically 7% or 8% alcohol by volume (ABV), were called “stout por ters”, so the history and development of stout and por ter are inter twined, and the term stout has become firmly associated with dark beer, rather than just strong beer.

Top Fermentation – One of the two stand ard fermentation methods. Top fermentation is used in the production of ale, so-called because the yeasts float at the top rather than sit at the bottom. Ale yeast is top fermenting compared to lager yeast, which is bottom-fermenting. Beers brewed in this fashion are commonly called ale or top-fermented beers. Trappist – A beer brewed within a Trappist monastery by the monks. Only 11 breweries (6 in Belgium, 2 in the Netherlands, 1 in Austria, 1 in the USA & 1 in England) can use the “Trappist” badge: Chimay, Orval, Rochefor t, Westmalle, Westvleteren, Achel, Koningshoeven (La Trappe), De Kievit (Zunder t), Stift Engelszell, St. Joseph’s Abbey (Spencer Brewery) & Tynt Meadow (page 413) in Derbyshire
W
Wet Hopping – Also called fresh hopping is the addition of hops that haven’ t been dried resulting in a different flavour. Wit – meaning “White” beer is a cloudy wheat beer that was originally developed without hops and preserved with spices or fruit. The most common are coriander and orange and the beer is cloudy as a result.
Y
Yeast – Yeast is what makes the alcohol in your beer. Yeast eats up the sugar and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.

LAGER LAGER LAGER L A G Despite E R the craft beer revolution,
Shouting...
the UK on-trade lager category still accounts for over 70% of the
UK volume. This equates to a few pints just under the £8.8b mark.
But it’s n ot a l l g reat n ews . We to o k a l o o k at so me re ce nt o n-trade i ndustry re po r t s a n d d r i ll i nto th e d eta i l s of Lage r’s succe s s de s pi te the worrying de cl in e fo r t h e ‘ b i g b ra n d s’. C L A S S I C L AG E R
(-1.1% | £3.8b)
Within this category, there are some worrying numbers for the big 3 (Carling, Fosters & Carlsberg). The category of ‘Classic’ lager is very much on a slippery slope of decline with the top 3 all showing a decline. This data shows that drinkers are switching to premium categories. The likes of Carlsberg have relaunched to appeal to a broader consumer base and win new drinkers.
PREMIUM 4%
(+5.6% | £2.3b)
Brands such as Coors Light, Amstel, Staropramen Pravha & Bud Light are all showing double-digit growth within the 4% premium category, these brands encourage the Classic Lager drinker wanting a better flavour experience to trade up without making a large jump into World Lager or Craft beers.
354
WO R L D L AG E R
(+10.5% | £2.2b)
Much of this growth comes from the top 4 in this category (Peroni, San Miguel, Birra Moretti & Estrella Damm). These 4 have over 80% of the category value showing that Mediterranean lagers continue to rise in popularity. Lager drinkers are more loyal to the category and stick to lager whilst Ale consumers will also drink from other categories. So with all this data at our disposal, it seems that Lager drinkers remain relatively brand loyal. However, this is changing. Even in the last year, we have seen “experimental Lager drinkers” grow from 10% to 25%. Experimentation within Ale is also increasing. Ranging by breadth of categories will optimise sales. If you arent sure what to offer, give us a call and we can help you make the most of your taps.

STOCK UP TODAY!
Super Bock premium imported lager is the best-selling Portuguese lager in the world and is now available on draught in the UK. It offers authenticity and true heritage, fondly recognised from holidays in the Iberian sun. Its positive and vibrant energy makes it the ideal beer of choice for social occasions.
Premium world beers continue to drive on-trade growth and offer publicans the chance to increase their profits, as they command a premium price point. Super Bock lager is a 5% abv premium beer of outstanding quality; proven by winning 34 consecutive gold medals from the internationally recognised Monde Selection awards – the ‘Oscars’ of the beer industry. Imported directly from Portugal, where it has been brewed since 1927, Super Bock is a rich, complex and slightly fruity, refreshing lager.
Inn Express have been exclusively distributing draught Super Bock within the Midlands over the past 12 months. Graham Lawton, Sales Director commented, “we have been very impressed with the success of Super Bock, over 20 sites are stocking and none have been lost. The support of the team at Super Bock has been fantastic and it is the best-selling premium lager in most of the stockists. The Bar Manager from the Episode Hotel in Leamington Spa added Super Bock to the bar on the day of the first England match in the football World Cup last year.
“We had so many customers excited about Super Bock being available on our bar, many telling us stories of trips to Portugal and fun times whilst drinking the beer. We sold our first keg in an hour and had to telephone Inn Express for an emergency order.”
Deighton Ridge, Commercial Director at Brookfield Drinks who distribute the brand throughout England, Scotland and Wales added “Super Bock is such a versatile brand. We’ve had restaurants, micropubs, wedding venues and premium bars all try Super Bock from Inn Express and the feedback has been great. There’s a reason why its been awarded so many gold medals – the quality really does speak for itself; it’s a great tasting lager. Portugal sees 3 million Brits visit each year, all of whom are bound to see Super Bock, as it’s everywhere out there. The strong branding will be instantly recognisable when back at home.” Inn Express offers its customers a varied and saleable choice, not only offering brands from big companies, but instead offering an interesting range from smaller suppliers; helping to give their customers a competitive edge. Super Bock offer a range of POS and merchandise to stockists, including designer glassware and fonts, and a cosumer loyalty mechanic.
Marina from Haunted Bar, also in Leamington said “we’ve sold Super Bock for the past 12 months. It now has a very loyal following by my customers. Initial trial of the beer was really helped by the loyalty Free Pint Promotion.”

Jargon buster!
Helping you split your Lambics from your Lagers... one beer at a time
GERMAN LAGER IS A VAST PLAYGROUND. IT CAN BE A BIT CONFUSING, BUT WITH SOME BASIC KNOWLEDGE YOU WILL BE WELL ON YOUR WAY TO DISCOVERING A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF BEERS NOT JUST FROM GERMANY
A LT B I E R
BOTTLE CONDITIONING
BOCK
DOPPLEBOCK
A style of German beer brewed near Dusseldorf. It’s darker than a standard lager and is top fermented before being cold conditioned i.e. lagered. Altbier literally means Old Beer.
Beer that has bottled without the yeast being filtered out so sediment is still left in the bottle. This is done so the beer can continue to develop a complex taste while it waits for you to drink it. It usually means a higher abv too.
A strong lager traditionally from Germany and brewed seasonally. Full-bodied, malty, well-hopped. It used to be a dark beer but more recently they’ve been produced light copper in colour as well.
A stronger bock beer, that traditionally uses double the amount of hops and malt; it doesn’t necessarily double the strength.
HELLE
HEFE
KÖLSCH
Comes from the colour of the beer and literally means Pale in German rather than Dunkel which means dark.
German for yeast. Most commonly seen alongside ‘weizen’ which is translated as Yeast-wheat and broadly means the beer is bottle conditioned and thus may have sediment
A type of German beer that is top fermented and cold conditioned, i.e. lagered.
PILSNER
REINHEITSGEBOT
T O P / B O T T O M F E R M E N TAT I O N
A beer style traditionally from Germany and the Czech Republic. Typically crisp and refreshing, with a light to medium body and a clear gold colour.
German Purity Law of 1516 which states that the only ingredients that can be included in beer are water, malted barley, yeast and hops.
Bottom Fermentation - One of the two basic fermentation methods and used to make lager. So-called because the yeast sinks to the bottom of the brew
LAGER Lager comes from the German lagern meaning to store and is a beer made with bottom fermenting yeast. Lager is fermented at lower temperatures and therefore takes longer to ferment than ale. Lower temperatures means a cleaner more crisp beer.
Top Fermentation – Top fermentation is used in the production of ale, so-called because the yeasts float at the top rather than sit at the bottom. Ale yeast is top fermenting compared to lager yeast, which is bottom fermenting. Beers brewed in this fashion are commonly called ale or top-fermented beers.

e s i r THE
LAGER
Until 1960 lager accounted for less than one percent of the British beer market… but according to recent reports it now accounts for 70% the beer market in Britain. So when Magic Rock, consistently ranked as one of the top breweries in the world added a Lager to their core range we took notice! Afterall they know about beer! We spoke the guys about their love for this once-forgotten yet hugely popular style. If you’d have told us eight years ago that we’d have been drinking lager again, let alone brewing it, we would’ve spat out our fruity, triple hopped IPA and rolled on the floor laughing! Why would we want to return to the days of sweet, malty, sweetcorn flavours, that we used to pretend to like back in the day? Roll for ward to 2019, and Lager is on the rise once more, only this time, we’re drinking beautifully crafted, delicious, crisp products, made with all the care and attention of the Germans; from Pilsners, Helles and Kölsch’s, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about it. This time around, after the growth of sour beers and quadruple hopped IPAs, there’s something simple and quite literally, refreshing about a well-brewed lager. There is nowhere to hide; the recipe has to be tight and executed well for the beer to succeed. It’s the ultimate test in the competence of a brewer; combining a harmony of hops, malt and yeast that deliver a crisp, refreshing and bitter beer that is accessible and full of flavour; and we think we’ve achieved exactly that with our Dancing Bier – our take on a German Lager. It’s crisp, refreshing and packed with German Hops, Magnum, Saphir Whole Leaf and Hallertau. Perfectly paired with grilled food, curr y and burgers, it’s a great all-rounder and a widely enjoyed style.

Monterey, 3.9% abv
Easy going and easy drinking, this California Pale Ale is full of pine and tropical notes, and as golden as the sands on Monterey Bay. ALC
3.9%
VOL
CUBIC, 4.5% abv Four. That’s our square number when it comes to full-on flavour. A quartet of hops bring strong passion fruit and citrus aromas offset by a mellow bitterness. It’s taste, cubed and perfection in a pint glass. It’s Cubic; pale ale precision.
PROPER JOB, a powerfully authentic IPA, it regularly wins awards for its moreish hoppy taste and effectively kick-started the trend for US West Coast hops before anyone else. It’s brewed to formidably high standards, as you’d expect of any beer from St Austell Brewery. 389

CANS ARE GOOD FOR THE BREWER, GOOD FOR THE BEER-DRINKING TRAVELER, AND GOOD FOR THE BEER. BUT IS IT GOOD FOR THE EARTH?
M
ore and more craft breweries are adding cans to their lineups because they’re cheap, they travel well, and they keep damaging light from hitting the beer inside. Canning craft beer is a trend that began in the US back in 2002, when Coloradobased brewery, Oskar Blues, decided to say goodbye to bottles. The brewery’s success in the wake of the release proved that not only were cans a viable option for delivering contemporary craft beer to the masses, but an exciting alternative for those who longed for something new when it came to transporting and consuming their brews. Now, back on home soil, Tottenham-based brewery, Beavertown, led the way when it came to introducing top-quality canned beer to the UK market – altering perceptions about what sits inside shiny metal shells. Now, more and more of the UK and Europe’s most beloved breweries are following in the footsteps of Beavertown and their American cousins, embracing the many benefits of canned beer and ensuring beer lovers have the best drinking experience possible
When it comes down to it, the most environmentally friendly way to drink a beer is to ride your bike to the nearest brewery
and drink straight from the tap. That’s not always possible, and with so many beer options out there, no one should be limited to just one local brewery. So environmentloving people are stuck between two options: cans or bottles. Putting taste and style aside, here are the environmental pros and cons for bottles and cans. THE CASE FOR AND AGAINST BOTTLES Glass bottles are recyclable, and the typical bottle is made with between 20 and 30 percent recycled material. They also are made with silica. Silica is industrial sand and gravel with a high silicon dioxide content. According to the United States Geological Survey, silica is abundant and its mining “usually has a limited environmental impact.” That side of bottled beer sounds great, but there’s one major problem: Glass is heavy. Glass bottles have a larger carbon footprint when it comes to transportation. They also take a large amount of thick cardboard packaging to make sure the fragile glass bottles don’t break. According to Slate, transporting a bottle emits 20 percent more greenhouse gases than a can. INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
THE CASE FOR AND AGAINST CANS You probably know this already, but cans are a lot lighter than bottles. That means they have a smaller carbon footprint than glass (as noted above), but also that they take less cardboard to hold and transport. Furthermore, cans are made with much more recycled content than glass bottles. According to The Aluminum Association, cans are typically made with 70 percent recycled content, and people recycle their cans 20 percent more often than they recycle glass. The major downside to cans comes from making new aluminum. Aluminum producers need to mine bauxite, which is a clay mineral made up of aluminum hydroxide, iron, titanium, sulphur, and chromium. Bauxite mining is a scorched-earth operation in which massive equipment tramples local terrain and breaks into the Earth while spewing dust into the atmosphere. No matter how good recycling gets, new aluminum will always be a part of the equation. Neither option sounds appealing to you? Maybe it’s best to just stick to the local taps, then. That is the purest way to try good beer - CRAFT BEER - CANS

Helping you split your Lambics from your Lagers... one beer at a time
LAMBIC
THE OLDEST BREWING STYLE IN THE WORLD.
A traditionally Belgian brew that is quite sour unless it is flavoured with fruit. It also uses open fermentation methods that rely on the natural yeasts in the air rather than adding it directly to the brewing process. Young lambic is slender and soft while older lambic is funkier with a bigger Brettanomyces influence. However, beyond the bars and cafes surrounding the breweries where it’s served uncarbonated, most lambics are blended into Gueuze, a sparkling mix of young and old lambic
LAMBIC Lambic is both the generic term for spontaneous beers from this particular part of Belgium and the name given to the base beer. Taken fresh from the tuns or poured in draught in select cafes, it tastes a bit like sherry-soaked socks.

GUEUZE Normally corked and caged in champagne bottles, gueuze (pronounced goo-zah) is a bottle-conditioned blend of young lambic (aged for between 6 and 12 months) and old (oude) lambic (aged in oak for up to three years) to a ratio of one to two.
INN EXPRESS - DRINKS PORTFOLIO
A greater proportion of older lambic brings more Brett and complexity while gueuze blended with more young lambic will be softer in character. Blenders strive for a signature style and a certain consistency of flavour from year to year but every vintage tends to be different – which is merely adds to its allure.
- CRAFT BEER - BOTTLES
KRIEK
FARO
Kriek (cherry) is made traditionally by steeping Scaarbeek cherries, native to Brussels area, in lambic for six months. Cherries are added whole and, during a vigorous secondary fermentation, the stones dissolve to add an almond edge to the tart character.
Popular in the 19th century, Faro is lambic beer sweetened with sugar to make it more palatable to the everyday drinker.
Other fruits are used but beware lambics blended with syrup as they tend to taste a bit rubbish.

TRAPPIST & ABBEY
BREWING OF THE HIGHEST ORDER The term “Trappist” is derived from “La Trappe”, a French Abbey located in Normandy. Trappist monks have their origins in France and not in Belgium as many wrongly assume. It refers to the order of the Cistercians of the Strict Observance, shortly known as the “Trap pist Order” Trappist beers are brewed within a monastery and can be reconized by the “Authentic Trappist Product” logo. Abbey beers are not brewed within a monastery, but are strongly affiliated with one. It’s not an actual style. Most Trappist & Abbey beers are Belgian classic style ale.

TRAPPIST BEER NOW BREWED IN THE UK Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, near Coalville, is only the world’s 12th to get permission to call itself a Trappist brewery. Tynt Meadow is brewed with English barley and hops, using an English strain of yeast. It is twice-fermented, with the first fermentation taking place in the tank, and the second in the bottle. It should be stored in a cool, dark, quiet place.

s ' t I e m Ti TO REACQUAINT OURSELVES WITH US CRAFT BEER With the rise and rise of UK craft beer and the new found expectancy for fresh off the line IPAs, the demand for US beer has seen a steady decline over the last few years. Rightly so, you might say? There's no escaping the fact that it takes time to get beer from the States - We are over 3,000 miles apart - and we cannot source a two day old, double dry-hopped DIPA from the East Coast (Actually, we can - but given the added cost and carbon footprint of air freighting, we'd rather leave that to the festivals). What we can guarantee from our US importers is quality and consistent quality at that. Let's not forget that UK craft has been and still is heavily influenced by our cousins from across the pond and whilst some have managed reach the heights of their peers, sometimes there's just no substitute for the original. And just a quick note on freshness. When it comes to our American imports, our specially selected importers ship and store everything cold to ensure that there is as little hop fade as possible. A fate not all UK brewed beer is afforded. On the following pages you'll find a list of great American beers that we are incredibly excited to tell you about. Here are the ones we can’t get enough of.
In a state known for theme parks, Cigar City Brewing has become a major attraction for those who appreciate and seek out excellent beer. It opened with a flourish and spread its reach quickly, appealing to both hardened beer geeks and brew novices with eyebrow-raising flavours and commitment to quality. Capitalising on the Latin culture and tobacco-manufacturing history of Tampa Bay, Cigar City highlights those strengths on its labels and in its beer names and recipes.
Anchor Brewing is, quite rightly, seen as the first American craft brewery with a rich and colourful history dating back to the 1890s and the California Gold Rush. Today it is a modern enterprise yet still embraces traditions including solely whole hop and all-malt recipes, open fermentation, dry hopping, krausening and bunging. A genuinely diverse brewery with lager, barley wine, porter and India Pale Ale amongst the regular brewday roster.
When we think of breweries that helped shape the UK craft beer scene Oskar Blues from Longmount, Colorado are certainly high on the list when it comes to canned craft. Back in 2002, Oskar Blues were the first brewery to introduce cans to their portfolio with the now world famous Dale’s Pale Ale. 16 years later and cans are now the preferred packaging format for the majority of craft breweries due to their shipping, environmental and beer quality benefits.

Did you know? Steam Beer – First originated in California when German immigrants found a way to make bottom fermented yeast work at top fermenting yeast temperatures.

CIDER A S PA L L S DEBENHAM, SUFFOLK In 1728, Clement Chevallier planted the first large-scale cyder orchards in Suffolk. Clement nurtured his trees, then pressed and blended his apples, pioneering a new standard for British fine cyder. Almost 300 years on, we're still producing unparalleled cyder at the original Aspall Cyder House

PACKAGED CIDER IS IN LONG TERM SUSTAINED DECLINE IN THE ON TRADE, IN PART DRIVEN BY A LACK OF INNOVATIVE NEW PRODUCTS BREAKING THROUGH. This and the declining rates of sale for packaged ciders suggest that there is a real opportunity for operators to try something new and different with their cider selection in the fridge, to help drive interest in cider and use their cider range to help define their outlet. The first step of any review should be to stop stocking pear ciders, pear ciders have reached the natural end of their life cycle and there are a lot of bottles blocking space for new innovative ciders. Operators should follow a “right brand right outlet” approach, where the packaged cider’s positioning is reflective of the outlet’s positioning. Fortunately, today’s cider marketplace offers a near endless choice, permitting operators to really fine tune their offering. As a general rule, packaged fruit cider is more suited to higher tempo occasions in wet led outlets, while packaged apple cider is more suited to lower tempo occasions in dry led outlets. Below are some recommendations based on space available in the bar fridge.
ONE BOTTLE
TWO BOTTLES
THREE OR MORE BOTTLES
If there is no cider on tap on the front bar and there is only room for one bottle of cider in the fridge, then this should be an apple cider, as apple cider is still the most popular variant of cider. If an apple cider is offered on the front bar, then this provides an opportunity for fruit cider to be the packaged option in the fridge.
If there is no draught serve in outlet then the operator should consider one packaged apple cider and one packaged fruit cider. If apple cider is offered as a draught serve, then the two bottles should be fruit cider.
If there is space for three or more bottles, the operator has real freedom to experiment with the range, but at least one bottle should be an apple variant and one bottle should be a fruit variant. Do make sure that the opportunity to stock three or more bottles of cider takes advantage to showcase the wide variety of UK and global cider styles that are now available to the on trade.
Two bottles also give the outlet the opportunity to try some new ideas, one should be a berry, whilst using the other as an opportunity to try a new, different or contrasting style to drive interest.

ANGRY ORCHARD H U D S O N VA L L E Y, N E W Y O R K The Hudson Valley also has a long cider making tradition. Before prohibition, cider apple orchards were common to find in the region. Cider has been made here for more than 200 years! Like many of the orchards in the area, our orchard has a long history. It has been a farm since the 1700s and the first apple trees were planted here around 100 years ago. The Crist Family took ownership of this orchard in 1963 and as leaders in the apple growing industry, grew both culinary and cider apples. We are committed to bringing traditional cider varieties and lost heirloom varieties back to the United States. As such, certain areas of the orchard are designated for new cider apple plantings and varietal research, in collaboration with local institutions and growers.

CIDER
An in ‘ciders’ guide. Cider apples make up about half of all apples grown in the UK, most of which due to their acidity and tannin content are not suitable for eating and are as a result grown exclusively for cider making. There are four types of cider apples used in cider making - bittersweets, bittersharps, sweets and sharps. These apple categorisations are based on an assessment of the acidity and tannin levels in an apple variety. Tannin delivers the dry ‘black tea’ flavour note in cider and helps create the amber colour, while acidity delivers the refreshing sharp notes in cider. The artistry of cider making is concerned with the balance of acidity, tannin and sweetness to achieve a smooth rounded and well-balanced cider. Below are four of the Uk’s most popular styles used in many of the best cider blends today
Classic cidermaking apples, they have low levels of acidity and high levels of tannin. These make up a large proportion of cider apples grown and as a result are the backbone of many UK produced ciders, delivering a bite without too much acid. This allows the cider maker the opportunity to let the natural sweetness of the cider shine through.
BIT TERSWEET
T YPICAL VARIETIES Brown Snout, Yarlington Mill, Dabinett (shown left)
Bittersharps have high levels of acidity and high levels of tannin. Their high acid content with the tannin back note ensures they deliver ciders with a sharp zesty pep and a snappy dry finish. Often, they are blended with bittersweets to balance out the cider. T YPICAL VARIETIES Porters Perfection, Foxwhelp (shown left), Kingstone Black
BIT TERSHARP
Sharps have high levels of acidity and low levels of tannin, the variety of sharps most will be familiar with would be the Bramley apple that is sold in supermarkets for apple pies and apple crumbles. Ciders made from sharps can deliver zesty fresh green notes with a light colour that give the cider an almost white wine like quality.
SHARP
T YPICAL VARIETIES Browns Apple, Bramley’s Seedling (shown left), Katy
Sweets have low levels of acidity and low levels of tannin. Many of these apples are also what would be called ‘eaters’ or culinary apples. The lack of bitterness or sharpness in these apples allows the natural floral and herbal aromas to come through in the cider making process, giving the cider maker the opportunity to create ciders with light delicate notes.
SWEET
T YPICAL VARIETIES Typical Varieties: Ashmeads Kernel, Cox’s Orange Pippin (shown left)

CIDER BROTHERS SHEPTON MALLET , SOMERSET We have been making cider since 1658. This is the first documented evidence of Gabriel Showering, our uncle 14 generations back, taking his cider around the public houses of Shepton Mallet, Wells and Glastonbury. In 1842 we opened our first pub, The Kings Arms in Shepton Mallet. It was hard work but luckily our ancestors were not shirkers, so we opened more pubs, like the unusually named Black Swan, also in Shepton Mallet.

That’s why we have developed this delicious cider with real raspberry juice and cider apples. All of which were all grown within 50 miles of the press they’re juiced in. This gives us a truer flavour and makes this cider as English as week-long cricket games, the Royal family and the great eccentrics who inspired our cider.!

CIDERSMITHS LONDON At Cidersmiths we believe in three principles, it’s what makes great cider... Good cider is never made from concentrate, only from juice because it tastes way better. Fact. Knowing where our apples come from, what varieties are they, how are they grown? Cider should be made in a sustainable way that leaves our beautiful countryside just as we found it.

CIDER C H U R C H FA R M WARWICK Set up in 2012 when we sold our herd of dairy cattle and converted the milking equipment into a microbrewery, we only intended to brew fantastic beer. We now make cider from our very own orchards. Unlike our mass produced counterparts, we brew by hand, the traditional way. We use water from the farm's well, locally sourced malt and hops and just add time and dedication to create a cracking pint.

ONE CIDER TAP
TWO CIDER TAPS
THREE OR MORE CIDER TAPS
Outlets with one cider tap represents 39% of outlets and is declining by 7.1ppt a year. If there is only one tap on the bar then this should be a cider that reflects and reinforces the positioning of the outlet.
Outlets with two cider taps represents 38% of outlets and is growing by 1.8ppt a year. Two taps provides the opportunity for bar managers to either offer an incremental trade up opportunity or offer fruit cider on the second tap. Market data shows outlets stocking at least one fruit cider are more likely to have two taps than an outlet stocking two apple ciders.
Outlets with three or more cider taps represents 23% of outlets and is growing by 5.3ppt a year. If three taps or more are available then typically these will be high volume cider outlets, this provides the bar operator the opportunity to provide variety and choice on the bar while delivering some context and something interesting.

CIDER CÔTE B R I T TA N Y, F R A N C E Cote Breton Brut Cidre is born with apples at its very core. No concentrates, compromises or preservatives are used, just 100% natural, freshly pressed, apple juice gives Cote Breton Brut its light sparkle and rich, deep apple flavour. We believe that using 100% natural apple juice means that the cidre in your glass is truly what the apple created. The apples used in this cidre retain the flavours of the soils, sun, sea and spirit of the Breton coast (Cote Breton). Apples in Brittany taste different to anywhere else in the world. They are grown in the perfect climate by skilled, passionate farmers. And not just any old apple makes the cut, heritage varieties of apples specifically grown for cidre are used to make a truly authentic and unique drink.

CIDER GRUMPY FROG I L L M I N G TO N , WA R W I C K S H I R E Grumpy Frog’s name is derived from the location of the original orchards from which our apples were collected – Grump Street and Frog Lane, both in the north Cotswolds village of Ilmington which is renowned for its huge variety of apples from very many orchards. Our cider production has become a great community activity, with all the apples being sourced from orchards in Ilmington and the nearby villages. We have embraced the local interest and now attract a significant following in a wide range of establishments. Our Facebook page includes amusing footage of our unique method of apple harvesting! The whole process is tremendous fun and involves the participation of many, many local people of all ages.

CIDER MALLETS SHEPTON MALLET , SOMERSET Tales tell, when our ancestors needed to quench their thirst they would beseech ‘Shepton’, the great God of cider, to bestow upon them a perfectly balanced, easy-drinking pint, bursting with the sweet tang of finest Somerset apples. Legend has it that Shepton would call forth a whirlwind of ripe russets which he would smash and pulp with his mighty mallet until cider – the sweet nectar of the gods – was created. So cast your eyes downwards and behold the fruits of Shepton’s glorious labours.

PULP HEREFORDSHIRE We have superior expertise, passion and knowledge of the appley stuff. We’re slick, straightforward & very personable. Pulp is a carefully crafted, quality product. First was rhubarb and then damson. We got fed up with too many of the big boys adding synthetic fruit flavours and all sorts of additives to fermented concentrate from foreign apples and pretending it was a traditional product with heritage. Enough was enough. Pulp was born and, being from Yorkshire, we found some Real Yorkshire rhubarb from an early ripening single variety and added it to PGI status Herefordshire Cider for our first Pulp. It’s all the Pulp and none of the fiction and It’s delicious enough to have become our best selling cider.

CIDER ONCE UPON A TREE HEREFORDSHIRE Once Upon A Tree was launched in May 2008 through a passion to create the best quality cider from the highest quality fruit, whilst continuing to preserve the heritage and tradition of cider-making in the area. The apples are sourced, and the juice and cider made at Dragon Orchard situated in the heart of the traditional apple growing area of Putley near the Marcle Ridge in Herefordshire. With a combination of good orchard management, fantastic soils and perfect mesoclimate, the fruit produced is some of the best available anywhere in the UK, with the apples attaining full ripeness yet retaining character and flavour. Juice and Cider maker, Simon Day is an experienced professional winemaker who decided to turn his hand to cider making after walking through the local orchards and seeing the potential to use winemaking skills to capture the true characters of the apples in the juice and ciders.

meet Mike Pearson... CIDER A few years ago after exactly 25 years working in the City of London, he had a light bulb moment, and realised the following things in the following order: “Insuring oil rigs, refineries and super tankers is really, really boring. Unless they blow up. But if they do that, I get into big, big trouble. I don’t want to do this anymore… I love making and drinking cider and I reckon that the stuff I make is good enough to sell. Right, that’ll be it then. That’s what I’m going to do, I’m going to be a cidermaker!” And he did.
PEARSONS MORETON IN MARSH, GLOUCESTERSHIRE We only use 100% fresh pressed juice. We get this from pressing carefully selected bitter sweet and bitter sharp cider apples. We only use orchards that we know well and we can tell you down to the tree where we’ve sourced our apples from. Where possible we use orchards that are just a few miles from our mill, but with the resurgence in cider drinking, the terrible Winter weather (speak to Alan about this!) and the big producers buying up the production of whole orchards each year, there is a general shortage of cider apples. So, inevitably sometimes we have to look further afield, but we still know these orchards as well as the ones we use locally.

CIDER
CIDER TEMPTED ARMAGH , IRELAND The Story began back in 2009 when Davy Uprichard and his family established Tempted Cider. The cidery is situated in the Orchard County of Armagh and this too, is the source of dessert and Bramley apples used to make Tempted Cider. Armagh Bramleys have earned Protected Geographical Indication status by the EU for their unique, sharp, clean taste. The Uprichards also source special cider apple varieties from Co.Tipperary. Only the best quality Irish apples get the opportunity to be in a bottle of Tempted.

CIDER TINY REBEL N E W P O R T, W A L E S We’ve been working with our friends up at Hogan’s to create a new range of ciders (and a perry) after the success of our first cider Rocksteady! We wanted to broaden our horizons a little so in addition to a red cider, we’ve gone for a perry and a soured cider too!

CIDER WESTONS MUCH MARCLE, LEDBURY We’re independently minded and independently made. That means we do things our own way. Not the quick way. Not the easy way. But the right way. And that takes time. It’s what makes us as refreshingly real as our Herefordshire cider. What we stand for means something. For five generations we’ve been going beyond, striving to be genuinely better.

THE ORIGINAL CLOUDY CIDER
Old Rosie is the name given to our 1921 Aveling and Porter steam roller, that still sits in our yard in Herefordshire. Strong, reliable and so loved by everyone in the Westons family, we named this cloudy cider in her honour. Light, crisp and dry, this truly old fashioned cloudy cider is slowly matured and left unfiltered. To celebrate the tradition that this cider harks back to, Old Rosie is the Official Cider of Great Dorset Seam Fair.
SEE:
Cloudy and straw coloured
SMELL:
Classic cider smell – scents of bitter sweet apples, haybarns and honey
TASTE:
Light, crisp and dry with a balance of sweetness and acidity, to complement the bitterness of traditional cider apples
SWEET: STRENGTH:
6.8% ABV
AVAILABLE IN: 500ml & 20l bag-in-box SUPPORTING POINT OF SALE: Pint and half pint glasses Bar runners Drip Mats
